Critic Reviews

It's the film's glowing visual qualities, a striking performance by Denzel Washington and the elegant control Carl Franklin has over it all that create the most exotic crime entertainment of the season.Full Review

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

Writer and director Carl Franklin ("One False Move") scores a triumph in using the brooding atmosphere and racial tension of the sun-kissed, seedy City of Angels to reveal character and reclaim a neglected past that ace cinematographer Tak Fujimoto brings to vivid life.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

Few films are more assured in their storytelling or build more forcefully, irrevocably toward their resolution.Full Review

Hal Hinson
Washington Post

In the process of drawing audiences into the twists and turns of a knotty detective tale, Mr. Franklin and his cinematographer, Tak Fujimoto, open up an enticing and languorous lost world.Full Review

Janet Maslin
The New York Times

Franklin's picture is effortlessly wise beneath its entertaining surface.Full Review
