Cold Case
Black Rain- is a good action film. Micheal Douglas was good in it. Ridley Scott directed it.

The plot: New York City policemen Nick (Michael Douglas) and Charlie (Andy Garcia) witness a murder in a bar and quickly apprehend the assailant. The killer, named Sato (Yusaku Matsuda), is a member of Japan's infamous Yakuza mob, and Nick and Charlie must transport the gangster back to Osaka for his murder trial. There, Sato's fellow gangsters free him from police custody, forcing Nick and Charlie to scour Japan's dangerous underworld of organized crime in search of their fugitive.

Watch it if you want to.

Book Favorite

"Janet Malcolm is such an intellectual badass. This book was an extension of her piece of journalism in the New Yorker, where Malcolm has been a contributor for decades. It’s the fascinating story of a murder trial in the insular Bukharan-Jewish community of Forest Hills, Queens, in which a young physician is accused of hiring an assassin to kill her estranged husband, a respected orthodontist. Malcolm uses the case as a way to examine how a murder trial is conducted, and to look at the American judicial system as a whole. It was the book that first sparked my interest in true crime."

Clue.

Or, as it's known here in the UK, Cluedo.

The murder mystery board-game.

That's the starting point for this movie, which - basically - is a live action version of said game, leaving the audience guessing along trying to discover who committed the murder at a dinner party being hosted at a mansion, where - it tranpsires - all the guests (all going by aliases ie Mrs Peacocke, Miss Scarlette, Professor Plum etc) were being blackmailed.

Apparently released with 3 endings at the time, with each cinema only showing a single ending but now (on TV/home release) with all 3 endings shown one after the other.
