New Rose Hotel is a 1998 American science fiction erotic thriller film co-written and directed by Abel Ferrara and starring Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe, and Asia Argento.

Fox and X are Tokyo-based freelance industrial spies who specialize in helping R&D scientists defect from corporations who would rather see them dead than working for competitors.

Japanese firm Hosaka hires Fox and X to help Hiroshi defect, offering a fee of $50 million.

Fox and X hire Sandii, a small-time nightclub singer and call girl in Shinjuku, to help persuade Hiroshi to defect to a newly outfitted Hosaka lab in Marrakech.

That night, while Sandii sleeps, X rummages through her personal effects, finding cash, information about her aliases, and an unmarked computer chip.

During the night, X's Marrakech contact informs him that somebody discreetly reprogrammed the lab's DNA synthesizer to spread a virus that killed everyone, including Hiroshi, and that Sandii has vanished.

[9] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 31 out of 100, based on 9 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable" reviews.
