its like a slurry of every 80s cop movie cliche, with racism sprinkled on top. its basically a reskin of Red Heat right down to the ending airport scene where american cop and foreign cop have a meaningful exchange that shows how much they've come to respect each other despite cultural differences. osaka is beautifully shot in it though
funny that it came out the same year as imamura's black rain

every shithead broker in london says they will retire at 40 and buy a villa(ge) in provence and the film is like the wish fulfillment version of that in which they magically inherit a first class vineyard and get to schtup marion cotillard
the mixture of old school clubbable anti-frog sentiment and 'a year in provence' fancifulness is quintessentially english and terrible

blackhawk down is politically pretty vile but fairly engrossing as an action movie IIRC.
man, if ever two films were NOT alike...

TBQH i'd rather watch top gun again than most of RS's movies, but maybe that's just b/c i haven't seen top gun since 1986.
