I freely admit that I generally don't like art movies, but I will sometimes refrain from trashing them because apparently a significant number of people have found meaning in what I may find dull or irritating. Okinawa Rendezvous is not an art movie; it's a commercial movie from a commercial director, featuring big stars. Here's the big mystery: what part of it was supposed to be entertaining? Virtually nothing HAPPENS throughout the whole film! Not even the slightest touch of romance, unless you find attractive actors and actresses skirting the subject particularly romantic. There are a few dryly humorous scenes, mostly involving the Yakuza boss' long-suffering minions; these few mildly-enjoyable scene are the equivalent to down-time in real movies, though. The plot summary may lead you to expect some kind of mystery or suspense, or even a touch of action, but none of these are anywhere in sight. Now, I don't expect exploding cars, torrid love scenes and/or fart jokes in every movie I see, but I do think it is reasonable to expect that an expensive, commercially-successful movie will have some vaguely interesting ideas or entertaining elements. Okinawa Rendezvous adds up to little more than 90 minutes of attractive people in an attractive environment, and is a tremendous bore. Surprisingly, a few seemingly-intelligent people actually have liked it, but I can't think of a single person or category of person that I could possibly recommend it to.
