Rising Sun

Holy shit, has it ever been a minute since I've seen my near-fave crappy movie Rising Sun (Under Siege 2: Dark Territory retains pole position on this)!

Everything about this movie is embarrassing. I mean, it's embarrassing to watch. All the acting is uniformly overdone, the dialogue is stoopid...the already-boring-in-'93 conceit that the Japanese were going to take over the world is just stultifying in its PSA-ness. Such lines as "I had a good job out in Van Nuys..." and "Stop you sunnuvabitch!" (as spat by a running Harvey Keitel) haunt my dreams.

I really need to go buy a used DVD of this for three dollars somewhere. Just to know I have it, like a cyanide tooth...
