I COME WITH THE RAIN - Starring Josh Hartnett, Lee Byung Hun, Shaun Yue and Takuya Kimura.

From Twitch

When acclaimed Vietnamese director Tran Ahn Hung first announced that he was planning to make a major change of pace with his next film I doubt any of his fans expected that the director of Cyclo and Scent of Green Papaya would come up with something like this. His latest film, the globe trotting, international thriller I Come With The Rain, stars Josh Hartnett alongside huge Korean star Lee Byung Hyun - who will soon be seen in GI Joe, performing here in English for the first time - and seemingly ubiquitous Hong Kong actor Shawn Yue. Part manhunt, part crime thriller, part supernatural charged existential angst, this looks to be incredibly charged stuff and my hope has been that this would finally be the film that gave Hartnett the chance to truly shine, the picture’s noir leanings playing perfectly to his strengths as an actor. Here’s the official synopsis as a recap:

Kline, an ex-cop in Los Angeles traumatized by slaying a serial killer, is hired by a powerful corporate boss to go to the Philippines and find Shitao, his missing son. Kline’s leads take him to Hong Kong. Torn between good and evil, caught in the crossfire between a mafia drug ring and the police, he tracks down Shitao, who has become a mysterious vagrant.

Not the first time Kimura Takuya and Lee Byung Hun have appeared together, Lee Byung Hun had a cameo role in the big screen adapation of the hit Japanese TV show Hero.

Watched this the other night there and thought it was fantastic!!

Thanks Tiger. I could've sworn this has already been discussed but I cannot find the link. I guess not.

So to confirm, you've seen "I come with the rain"?

Anh Hung Tran is an excellent director.

No, I seen Hero the movie. Big screen adaptation of the tv series that was recently released on JP and HK dvd!

Cant wait to see this, I like Josh Hartnett and Lee Byung Hun and Takuya Kiruma are both the mutts nuts!

Thanks. I wasn't sure which you meant.

I like Anh Hung Tran. I've only seen JSA of Lee Byung Hun's films and I don't like Josh Hartnett.

Nah, we discussed it on MSN. I didn't bother starting a thread.

You mean it's a Japanese movie version of the TV show "Heroes" Tigger?

No it's a film continuation of the J-dorama: Hero, about a Public prosecutor who investigates and solves cases & is addicted to mail order shopping. This was the most successful TV drama of all time in Japan back when it was shown about 5 years or so back now, so the film is something of a big deal over there.

Aye what he said.

Hero: The Movie is pretty ace with a great cast including Hiroshi Abe, lots of laughs and a great soundtrack. There is a HK version out now ultra cheap.

I come with the Rain has a pretty cool cast but that 5 minute promo does it no favours at all. The weird english language voiceover kills my enthusiasm for it!

Thank you Shingster, Tigger for clearing that up
