Devil In A Blue Dress - 1995 - 6/10
Easy Rawlins, private eye, accepts the case of finding a white woman, wife of a powerful political.
She has a “taste for jazz and dark meat,” and is believed to be hiding in black Los Angeles.
We know, before he does, the case won’t be simple, and the obstacles soon mount.
Denzil Washington very good in this, as the veteran just trying to make living.
Don Cheadle, however, sets the screen on fire as the lethal Mouse.
Film has a laid back LA vibe, with strong attention to late 40’s details.
Solid Neo-Noir, under-seen and under-acclaimed.
