Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

The year is 1948, the place is Los Angeles, and Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins (Denzel Washington) is a black man who has just lost his job and is in dire need of money. So, despite having no experience as a private eye, Easy accepts an assignment from a seedy man (Tom Sizemore) to find the missing Daphne Monet (Jennifer Beals), the mistress of a powerful mayoral candidate. As Rawlins conducts his search, he unexpectedly becomes drawn into a complex racially-charged web of intrigue involving political machinations, double-crossings, blackmail, and mysterious deaths. With the aid of his trigger-happy friend Mouse (Don Cheadle), Easy must rely on his instincts and neophyte detective skills, not only to solve the case, but also to save his life. African-American director Carl Franklin (ONE FALSE MOVE) brings Walter Mosley's crime series to life with this dense thriller, aided greatly by Tak Fujimoto's sun-soaked photography and an electric soundtrack reflecting the music of the times. As Easy Rawlins, an everyman who finds himself an unwilling pawn in a dangerous game of mystery and murder, Washington delivers an intense performance. It is Don Cheadle, however, who steals the show, giving his hot-tempered Mouse a comic humanity that is at once menacing, hysterical, and unforgettable.

Engrossing
I bought this because I remembered the character Mouse's pistol as being a truly ugly, minimalistic, held together with screws, functional revolver (Webeley VI), and I wanted to admire it. I also enjoyed the character Mouse. It's early Denzel, and it's got Don Cheadle, and it's got a fight scene in which Denzel is slowly, slowly, losing. Nicely done genre picture, with lots of actors I enjoy seeing, well presented.

Devil in a Blue Dress is a great mystery
The story is filled with plenty of characters that make the story very entertaining. It has an excellent supporting cast for Denzel Washington. The acting is superb. This movie is good old fashion entertainment.

Makes sense only after you've seen the movie and you should see the movie.
An unusual Noir Movie not at all as one might expect. It might not be allowed to be made in today's Neo-Puritan PC environment. Great depth of story and fine acting from Denzel Washington and Don Cheedle. The turn of the Background of the Plot, where History of a Region (Cajun Lousiana) is generally not known, works where a Turn of Story such as found in "Chinatown", might not. This is a very fine movie.

Love Denzel Washington
I love almost every movie Denzel has made. This was one of his earlier flicks. It takes place in Los Angeles where I grew up. The plot is intelligent and keeps my attention. Ive probably watched this flick four times. Highly recommended.

Devil in a Blue Dress
A very good film set in 1940s Los Angeles throwback to film noir. Starring Denzel Washington as a out of work former soldier who finds himself. Caught up in a search for a woman with connections to a prominent politician.

Well worth a look
This is a great movie for Denzel fan's with a good story and lots of period correct clothing and cars with a great supporting cast and I am not so sure that Don Cheadle didn't steal the show
