Devil In A Blue Dress
Denzel Washington turns in his most subtle performance only to be upstaged by Don Cheadle in a neo-noir that rivals L.A. Confidential.
It s 1948 and Los Angeles is booming, but Easy Rawlins (Denzel Washington) has seen better days. He's just been fired and he's got house payments to make, so when Easy is offered a job locating the mysterious Daphne Monet (Jennifer Beals), he doesn't waste much time saying yes. Now be finds himself drawn into a web of murder, blackmail, brutal cops and corrupt city politics. Devil In A Blue Dress also stars Tom Sizemore as DeWitt Albright, who hustles Easy into this dangerous game, and Don Cheadle as Mouse, Easy's extremely volatile friend. Reminiscent of film noir, this stylish production is based on the acclaimed novel by mystery writer Walter Mosley.
