Diana H @Mercedy Oct 18, 2026 I was shocked that this movie earned a 92% rating. Denzel never disappoints but, Mouse, the loose cannon killer needed to be played by an actor who can project menace. Don Cheadle, while a wonderful actor, ain't menacing. Jennifer Beals also miscast, doesn't have the drop dead alluring presence of a young Lauren Bacall or Veronica Lake that would make us understand why the candidate for mayor (Not giving anything away here) would choose her over a successful run for mayor. And this guy, Todd Carter, also miscast. He projects nothing...not the above it all demeanor of a fabulously wealthy man, nor the torment of a star-crossed lover. Nothing. Zip. When he is on screen, there is absolutely nothing going on. That said, the period, post-war LA is meticulously recreated. The plot is genuinely circuitous as a hard-boiled noir main character in too deep film, should be.

See more Darsou C @RT09893534 Jun 26, 2025 Denzel is at his very best as his character evolves from rube to hero by necessity, in order to avoid that of “victim”—dead victim. And Don Cheadle positively excels in his role as an unleashed deadly force ready and willing to do whatever proves necessary to assist Denzel in that progression. The soundtrack and cinematography are exceptional, almost literally grabbing the viewer by the collar and depositing him right back into the middle of the 20th century. Worth watching more than once!
