In late 1940s Los Angeles, Easy Rawlins is an unemployed black World War II veteran with few job prospects. At a bar, Easy meets DeWitt Albright, a mysterious white man looking for someone to investigate the disappearance of a missing white woman named Daphne Monet, who he suspects is hiding out in one of the city's black jazz clubs.

Excellent neo-noir set in a wonderfully-realized late 1940s LA, cast is good w/ great performances from Washington & Cheadle, worth watching
Worth watching, but it’s no LA Confidential. The plot is rather simple aside from racial complications. Denzel and Cheadle are a great duo.
Great mystery crime thriller noir with good characters and acting
A stimulating neo-noir. Kept me engaged and guessing the entire time.
Really underrated film noir. Don Cheadle is terrifying.
Denzel is smooth, but Don Cheadle is the real reason to watch. An excellent "good dude in a mess" noir with impeccable 1940s style.
Excellent neo-noir with Denzel! Sets, costumes and music are good! Plenty of grit, suspense and mystery!
One of the best noirs I’ve ever seen. Supremely entertaining.
Wonderfully twisty film noir with a typically excellent performance from Washington
Neo noir of the highest standard. Stellar performance by Denzel. Very underrated film.
