Viewing Notes

Black Rain has never been a favorite of mine, but I don’t hate it either. It’d been a long time since I’d seen it so I figured I’d revisit it. This is the first time I noticed that Jan De Bont was the Director of Photography. Maybe that explains why I always felt like something was wrong with this movie.
