Style wins out over substance again.

Dark and haunting

Nothing brilliant, but it's tough to knock Ridley Scott's style and Michael Douglas with a gun.

Should have been much better, given its credentials

Still plays like a more commerical variation of the superior Year of the Dragon, but Black Rain has aged nicely, and is a strong film in its own right.

Beautiful but not memorable.

absurdly priceless

Considering the caliber of talent, in front and behind the camera, Ridley Scott's violent cop thriller should have been more engaging and compelling

Ridley Scott's been better, but Black Rain is rarely less than engaging.

...a relic of the 1980s.

A big stupid pile of junk. Am I being too forward?

Even given all of its inconsistencies, implausibilities and recycled cliches, "Black Rain" might have been entertaining if the filmmakers had found the right note for the material.
