"This unique thriller stars Denzel Washington as a man who is in the right place at the wrong time, tapped to investigate the possible kidnapping of white woman who may be hiding out in a nearby black community. Jennifer Beals plays the femme fatale who is definitely hiding something. The movie co-stars Don Cheadle. The acting was good, and the plot was pretty good. "
" 🌟7.5/10🌟 Set in late #1940s Los Angeles, what immediately stands out is the #periodpiece detail in this #noir #suspense #thriller starring an always smoothe #Denzel_Washington. The film features some great, #jazz music from the era & the acting was excellent by all (I’m looking at you, Don Cheadle 👀 … and of course, DW)
This is a nicely-paced unfolding #mystery that perfectly connects all the dots. Good plot twists & the character development unfolds in the fine acting, facial expressions, actions & reactions & the dialogue of the cast of characters.

"Pleasantly surprised by this one. Criminally under-appreciated (reminded me a lot of CHINATOWN, of which this is a great companion piece to). The performances (especially Denzel Washington and Don Cheadle), direction, cinematography and production design all stand out. Highly recommended."
