Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Fritz Brown is an ex-LAPD, recovering alcoholic who now splits his time repossessing cars for a used car lot and staffing his one-man private detective agency. When a filthy caddie named Freddy "Fat Dog" Baker wanders into Fritz's office one day, flashing a wad of cash, Fritz is hired to follow Fat Dog's kid sister Jane, who is holed up with a Beverly Hills sugar daddy named Sol Kupferman. Kupferman is a 70 year-old bag man for the mob, and Fat Dog claims that "Solly K" is up to something evil that may harm Jane. The trail leads Fritz to an encounter with his dark past in the person of Haywood Cathcart, current head of LAPD internal affairs and the person who kicked Fritz off the police force. But what is Cathcart doing in business with a mobster? And why is Jane shacked up with a man old enough to be her grandfather? Fritz starts asking some questions, and the answers are all bad news. Fritz finds himself back on Haywood Cathcart's short list, and as the bodies start to pile up around him, Fritz stands to lose more than his job this time around as some old debts get repaid.
Leave your thoughts about Brown's Requiem.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIts funeral tone left me with a hang-over. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaBoilerplate noir all the way, from the femme fatale to the hard-boiled voiceover. |
| User ReviewJim SBased on James Ellroy's first novel, this is stock standard neo-noir, but I remember it being pretty engaging, particularly with Michael Rooker getting a chance to play a grizzled good guy for a change. |
| User ReviewRussell GWell done, and actually keeps true to the seedier aspects of the book. The thing is plagued by being cheap, and trying a little too hard to be a noir. Rooker never looks all that comfortable in front of the camera, but all in all, it's well done. Better then that Black Dahlia piece of shit DePalma made with whats probably 1000X the budget. |
| User ReviewEvan KThe film is a noir to a T, and does a lot of such correctly. A lot of the choices regarding scenery (the motel's golf ball room at the end of the film with squared carpet, Brown's 1950s convertible, etc., all create a setting that's both modern, yet subtly noir stylish. There is no femme fatale, which while not a bad thing, does create a problem. The choice to end the film based around the death of Brown's cousin, who is insignificant and a minor role through the whole film, almost trivializes the entire plot that actually made up the 97 minutes. Sure, it fits the noir genre (the pot of gold that was Fat Dog's golf money does nothing but fund Brown's re-addiction to alcohol), but its not a strong conclusion to the narrative. Pacing wise, the film works well. |
| User ReviewLee MHasn't cracked the basic problem of transforming the source material into a really compelling slice of cinema. |
| User ReviewBen BA very average adaptation of Ellroy's novel, the film threw me a bit by being set in modern day rather than Ellroy's customary 50's Hollywood. This film is a decent effort, but still left me wanting the period feel that the material deserved. Worth a rental. |
| User ReviewTamara HI didn't even remember I had seen this until I was boredly looking at the ancient tribute page I once made for Kevin Corrigan (which hasn't been updated in about 8 years). Kevin has a small role in this film. I don't remember hating it but I don't remember loving it, either. Basically, the fact that I forgot this movie existed says it all. |
| User ReviewRyan CThe book is WAAAAAAY better. I tried to watch this four times but just couldn't make it. |
| User ReviewTommy HI don't even know what to say, this is very odd and strange. Maybe if your really bored. |
