Watch movie theater Devil in a Blue Dress Denzel Washington stars in this adaptation of the novel by African-American crime author Walter Mosley, the first of his stories to reach the screen. Ezekiel Rawlins (Washington), known to his friends as "Easy," has just lost his job at an aircraft plant in post-WW II Los Angeles, a time when good-paying jobs for black men are hard to come by. He's wondering how to make his mortgage payment when he's approached by De Witt Albright (Tom Sizemore), who describes his job as "doing favors for friends." It seems that a woman named Daphne Monet (Jennifer Beals) has gone missing; Daphne is the former girlfriend of wealthy mayoral candidate Todd Carter (Terry Kinney) and a known habitué of the black jazz clubs and night spots on L.A.'s Central Avenue. Albright offers Easy $100 to help him find Daphne, and while he doesn't have any detective experience, the price is right, so Easy agrees. After a passionate affair with a friend of Daphne's, Coretta James (Lisa Nicole Carson), leads to that woman's murder, Easy enlists the help of his friend Mouse (Don Cheadle), who seems to know just a bit too well how to use a gun, which gives Easy all too clear a look at the lower depths of L.A.'s upper crust. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi You Can Watch Movie Online Streaming in HD from HERE Release Date Devil in a Blue Dress Sep 29, 1995 Wide Genres Devil in a Blue Dress : Mystery & Suspense,Drama

Review For Devil in a Blue Dress
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. Todd McCarthy-Variety Sheer pleasure. Geoff Andrew-Time Out 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-New York Times A fluid, persuasive piece of movie-making graced with the considerable visual sophistication. Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times The film also does a convincing job of re-creating Los Angeles of 1948 with both specificity and poetry. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle A bland, workaday detective flick. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail Stylish neo-noir. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews Invoking social realism more than pulp fiction, Carl Franklin's Devil in a Blue Dress is an innovative genre film on several counts. Rob Nelson-City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul In the aftermath of the Oscars, it now seems clear that Devil in a Blue Dress was one of the best films of 1995. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid Carl Franklin's unusually creative studio movie, boasting superlative acting from Denzel Washington and particularly newcomer Don Cheadle, reinvents a genre and a bygone era, in this case, Los Angeles circa 1948. Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com Great, grand piece of modern noir, with a unique twist that rethinks the genre even as it honors its finest elements. Great performances all around. Rob Vaux-Flipside Movie Emporium A very complex and engrossing mystery, filled with wonderful period details. Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com ...a throwback to the gumshoe tales of the thirties and forties. John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis Production design and acting aside, this film is less than one wants it to be. Nick Davis-Nick's Flick Picks Monstrously funny and truly scary, Cheadle is handed a scene-stealing role and never hesitates to do it justice. Maitland McDonagh-TV Guide's Movie Guide Another fine example of modern film noir. Dragan Antulov-rec.arts.movies.reviews Smooth and stylish mystery drama. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice Totally slick noir throwback. Scott Weinberg-eFilmCritic.com The question is not whether the movie will succeed, but whether its success will give TriStar a new film franchise. Kim Williamson-Boxoffice Magazine
