Vuoteen 1948 sijoittuva trilleri. Easy Rawlins saa potkut lentokonetehtaalta ja joutuu miettimään, miten maksaa asuntolaina. Kun DeWitt Albright -niminen valkoinen mies tulee ehdottamaan Easylle kadonneen valkoisen tytön etsimistä hyvästä palkkiosta, kaveri ei kauan mieti. Tyttö on ollut pormestariehdokkaan heila, mutta on nyt kadonnut mustien asuma-alueelle. (MTV3)

Denzel Washington usually doesn't disappoint, and surprisingly, he doesn't disappoint in this noir film either, which feels a bit too contrived to have the right dark yet masculine atmosphere with explosive scenes. It's too contrived and not gritty enough. Still, I like the fact that in the 90s they made films like this.

It's unusual in the context of the leading role of the African American community and related bidirectional barriers of segregation, but otherwise, the genre conventions remain unchanged. The man on the trail of a mysterious woman is used to be exploited, and amid a pile of questions and corpses, he gradually realizes that from the start, it was about something different. Something involving sex, shooting, and a few broken hearts. Carl Franklin could have delivered it more compellingly, but some details are worth noting. The impressive Denzel Washington, various types of Cadillac wrecks, the cynical Tom Sizemore, the unrelated involvement of an overly active neighborly lumberjack, and last but not least, the crazy Texan Mouse Cheadle, in whose vicinity it’s not safe. “If you ain't want him dead, why you leave him with me?”
