Based on Michael Crichton’s provocative bestseller, this “smart, engrossing and electrically charged” ( Joanna Langfield, The Movie Minute) thriller is as entertaining as it is thought provoking.

A special liaison officer (Snipes) is called in to investigate the murder of a call girl in the boardroom of a Japanese corporation. Accompanied by a detective (Connery) with unusual knowledge of the Japanese culture, the two men must unravel the mystery behind the murder by entering an underground “shadow world” of futuristic technology, ancient ways and confusing loyalties.
