Sol levante

Los Angeles. Midsummer. A dropped cell phone. A call girl dead in the offices of a powerful Japanese conglomerate, and two LAPD detectives walk into a boardroom of suspects. A security disk holds the key, or so it seems. Kaufman's adaptation of Crichton feels like a dry run for Mann's *Heat*.
