"Michael Crichton's novel 'Rising Sun' is my favorite novel of his. I prefer it to Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain, or any of his others. The film is NO tribute to the novel. It's simple - the novel is GREAT - the movie is NOT. Please, please ... read the book!!!"
"Eric Roberts has always been multi-talented and this movie showcases that. Crime fighter, boxer and all around good friend, Roberts works as a defense lawyer for an organized crime boss (Dean Stockwell). His sucess in the courthouse means trouble for him and his wife (model, Tatjana Patitz). Although the plot is typical, there are several familiar faces in this movie. As always, Roberts plays the part well and overall, the movie was a pleasant suprise."
"Over the past several years, on many re-packaged releases, FOX video labels the DVDs
as anamorphic, when in fact they are not. They did with with Abyss, True Lies and
Predator. They have now done it once again with Rising Sun. They previously released
it on DVD and it was matted widescreen but not anamorphic. They released this combination
of films and listed Rising Sun as anamorphic, and it is not, it is the same identical
DVD from the first release. It is my opinion that this is done to get customers
who already own the first release to purchase it again. Do not fall for this. In the
future, if a package is from Fox, and it says anamorhic on a title that previously was not, assume it is a deception.

"The movies are fine! I am a big snipes fan so it saves getting two movies for about the price of one! I can't complain! If you don't mind getting double feature movies another good deal. "
