Denzel Washington turns up the heat as a L.A. private eye in this steamy mystery from executive producers Jonathan Demme and Edward Saxon and director Carl Franklin. Washington stars as Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins, a decorated war hero who returns home to the segregation of post-war America. Forced to accept an under-the-table job finding a missing socialite, Easy is caught between the white power elite and the vibrant black community of Central Avenue. And as soon as Easy and his trigger-happy friend Mouse (Don Cheadle, in a star-making performance) find the mysterious Daphne Monet (Jennifer Beals), trouble follows.

Brian Susbielles

Carl Franklin’s neo-noir is hard-boiled and filled with moods of disillusionment in Los Angeles...

Denzel Washington’s voiceover in neo-noir Devil in a Blue Dress is an equal mix of deadpan charm and wide-eyed innocence, which textures and nuances his performance.

As “Devil in a Blue Dress” maneuvers its way through its taut and savvy mystery I found myself glued to its every twist and turn.

I’ve long been a champion of this film, as it’s precisely the kind of push forward I like to see in a studio film. Taking old conventions and finding ways to update them is what to do when so much talent is available to accomplish something special.

Don Cheadle steals the show whenever he is on the screen. The plot is intricate and well written, but Moseley needs to broaden his images of women.
