Covered in blackness and the neon blinking lights of Japan Black Rain is a touching and aggressive neo-noir that came to make our dreams a little more darker than they are. Depending a lot on its bewildering atmosphere and its punctual rhythm the film has that deep touch, a touch that is been set by its black heart and bloody taste. There is a sense throughout the film that you are watching some kind of an epic movie set with the laws of the neo-noir family, that trembling lights and the powerful, captivating dark forces of the absence of light. The film has a distinctive touch, a mesmerizing cinematography, funny and hard-boiled lines and a general atmosphere that talks about a movie that has the power to bewitch you and take you to another world, the world of chaos and murder. There is a high emotion coming from the screen, the moments where you see Japan at night raining and that emotion is set by the power of the image and together they form an alliance that takes you deep in the heart of the story. There is darkness, blackness, horror and murder coming from all directions and the insecurity of the story lifts up your adrenaline. I have to say that Black Rain is a movie that is mostly worthy for its style, it's the style that makes everything look so unique, because there aren't many action thrillers that you can find that have so much understood the laws of darkness and atmosphere when it comes in filming a big city at the late hours or some rainy day or some hidden subterranean place. Black Rain understands all that and that's why is a movie that is celebrating its neo-noir identity so thoroughly.
