Buddy Cop, maybe, but it's a little darker and the suspense is greater. Picture Beverly Hills Cop, but darker and more emotional, with greater stakes. The scenery is awesome, Dekotora trucks, neon signs, beautiful women, just great all around.
This movie really showed a bit of Japan and Japanese culture. Now I'm no expert, but this looked really authentic.
I don't think there was a single scene in this movie that was wasted, you either learn something new or get thrown into some action that leads to another avenue of possibilities, meanwhile our Hero Nick Conklin ( Michael Douglas ) is still on edge, trying to get the bad guy.
The fight scenes were realistic and not too showy, the criminals made rational decisions, I don't think there was anything in the whole movie that would make you think it was fake.
I will say, there are some gruesome scenes and eh... not for kids under 13, trust me it gets pretty gnarly.
