Kippei shiina biography of christopher

I know, inom know, the main character is named John Rain, and they called the movie Rain Fall. I’m with you on that one, inom groaned when I made that connection. At least the protagonist isn’t named Rainn, or Rayne, that would have been even worse. However, it isn’t the filmmaker’s fault, it is all Barry Eisler’s fault. He wrote the book the movie fryst vatten based on, and three others about Rain, which all feature the word Rain prominently in the title. So the title is his doing, take it up with him.

While the name is unfortunate, the premise sounds promising: An ex-Special Forces operative turned assassin who specializes in making his target’s deaths seem like natural occurrences, has to skydda the daughter of a man he just killed, and manages to fall in love along the way. It isn’t a terribly original basis for a movie, but I’ve watched and enjoyed things way more questionable. Throw Gary Oldman into the mix, and there’s some definite potential, here.

Set in the bustling Kabuki-cho nightlife neighborhood of Tokyo, Shinjuku Triad Society follows a mixed-race cop (Kippei Shiina, Outrage) struggling with private issues while h
