Based on the first book in the series of bestselling 'John Rain' novels by acclaimed author and former CIA operative Barry Eisler, the action-packed crime-thriller Rain Fall brings Eisler's half-Japanese, half-American anti-hero to the screen for the first time in the form of award winning Japanese star, Keppei Shiina (The Last Princess; Sakuran). Adapted for the screen and directed by Max Mannix (Dance Of The Dragon), this slickly mounted, tense thriller co-stars Gary Oldman, veteran Japanese actor Akira Emoto (Ichi; Memories Of Matsuko; Sinking Of Japan), Kyoko Hasegawa (Nanayo), Misa Shimizu (The Unbroken; The Harimaya Bridge) and Dirk Hunter (Undead).

Former US Special Force soldier turned contract killer John Rain is an assassin who specializes in making his 'hits' look like deaths from natural causes. Following his own, strict, self-imposed code of conduct, Rain only targets key figures and never accepts a job if it involves killing a woman or a child. But complications arise during Rain's latest assignment when he becomes attracted to a young woman named Midori, the beautiful daughter of his most recent victim. It soon becomes apparent that the killing of Midori's father and its repercussions are just one small part of a much wider conspiracy involving both the CIA and Tokyo's gangland crimelords. Now, both Rain and Midori have become targets themselves and Rain is forced to compromise his beliefs and to risk everything to protect the girl he loves before she is eliminated as collateral damage for being an innocent witness to a vast CIA cover up operation.

Rain Fall (cert. 15) will be released on DVD by Momentum Pictures on 29th March 2010 at the RRP of £15.99. No extras have been listed.
