    In this movie, michael douglas is a cop that isn't afraid to bend the rules a little and hates "suits". This includes smacking around restrained prisoners and using racial slurs. Most of the movie takes place in japan, where he battles the yakuza mafia.

    Cop movies...seen them nothing new...Until this movie. This was very well done, well paced and very well acted and directed.Ken Takakura who was amazing in The Yakuza ( another great film) is fantastic and plays the good cop to Michael Douglas's rogue cop to perfection. You will hate suits after this movie.

    As with most 80's genre films...if one doesn't know much about the period and wasn't around, they probably won't be able to appreciate all the raw nuances of the storyline, the sets or the acting. Anyone who knows, knows that everything in the movie was cutting edge at the time right down to the airplanes they flew on. Douglas was a semi-young cop with long hair, riding one of the fastest motorcycles at the time, in a world that was just beginning to go global.
