Liner Notes

One big gray area

by Tim Greiving

Nick Conkling has problems. Divorced, behind in his payments, under suspicion for graft, and working the streets of New York City („one big gray area“, as he describes it), the cop now has the Japanese mafia – the yakuza – to contend with. Lunching with his partner Charlie (Andy Garcia) after a hearing with internal affairs, Nick (Michael Douglas) witnesses a brutal murder by Sato (Yûsaku Matsuda). The wild-eyed maniac is caught, but the Japanese want to deal with him themselves – and Nick and Charlie are tasked with transport and chaperone duties.
