Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The film also does a convincing job of re-creating Los Angeles of 1948 with both specificity and poetry.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
18 Jun 2002
fresh:
A fluid, persuasive piece of movie-making graced with the considerable visual sophistication.
– Kenneth Turan,
Los Angeles Times,
15 Aug 2002
fresh:
The role of Easy looks as tailor-made for Mr. Washington as his suit, and it shows off the full effect of this actor's movie-star dazzle.
– Janet Maslin,

Sheer pleasure.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,

fresh:
Entering the main flow of the story relatively late, Don Cheadle steals all his scenes as a live-wire, trigger-happy old buddy of Easy's from Texas, while Sizemore and Mel Winkler, as colorful underworld figures, make strong impressions.
