As the plot grows more intricate, strangely the tension dissipates, until finally the movie just seems to run out of breath.

Newsweek
It would be nice to see Connery doing something intrinsically interesting instead of trying to make something inherently dull entertaining. And it would be good to see Snipes cut loose more than he is able to here.

TIME Magazine
Rating: 2/5 --
What should have been a tense political thrilling blockbuster, ends up a wasted effort with a limp storyline that once again fails to give the book justice.
Empire Magazine
When working in genre territory before, the idiosyncratic Kaufman has shown a marked tendency to debunk or subvert conventions. Playing it straight here, he brings little to the table.
Variety
It turns out a muddle: a buddy pic and a culture shocker as well as a thriller.

Independent on Sunday
Kaufman's PC adaptation falls awkwardly between the conventions of the Hollywood conspiracy thriller and something intended as more artily significant.

Time Out
Rating: 1/4 --
A major disappointment from first-class director Philip Kaufman.

Product Description:
A Los Angeles special agent (Snipes) must team up with an expert on Japanese culture (Connery) to investigate the murder of a call-girl in the boardroom of a Japanese corporation. The case turns out to be bigger than either of them had thought. Rather loosely based on Michael Crichton's novel.
