Full Plot Details

It is 1948 in LA and Ezikeal "Easy" Rawlins, an African-American World War II veteran, is looking for work. At his friend's bar, he is introduced to a white man, DeWitt Albright, who is looking for someone to help him find a missing white woman assumed to be hiding somewhere in LA's Black community. This woman, Daphne Monet, happens to be the fiancée of a wealthy "blue blood," Todd Carter, who is currently the favorite in the city's mayoralty race. Daphne Monet is known to frequent the Black jazz clubs in LA. Easy, innocently, accepts Albright's offer; however, he quickly finds himself amidst murder, crooked cops, ruthless politicians, and brutalizing hoodlums. This is a Chandler-esque "who-done-it" with an African-American theme.

Movie Reviews

TV Guide Magazine - 10/10 by Maitland McDonaghDirector Carl Franklin, who also adapted the screenplay from Walter Mosley's prize-winning novel, isn't particularly concerned with the machinations of mystery plots. Nor is he seduced by the temptations of noir visual style (although Tak Fujimoto's camera work is plenty stylish).
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranIt'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.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversWriter 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.
Sacramento Bee - 9/10 by Joe BaltakeThe fascinating bits of racial history that director Carl Franklin has folded into the vibrant milieu of a post-World War II Los Angeles pushes his Devil in a Blue Dress somewhat beyond the usual nostalgia/noir status.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Desson ThomsonFranklin's picture is effortlessly wise beneath its entertaining surface.
TheMovieReport.com - 9/10 by Michael DequinaA very complex and engrossing mystery, filled with wonderful period details.
Philadelphia City Paper - 9/10 by Cynthia FuchsLike the director's previous films -- most recently, 'One False Move' and 'Laurel Avenue' -- this one has a compelling, shrewd rhythm, bolstered by an impressive blues and jump soundtrack, evolved from visual and narrative details, painstakingly rendered.
SPLICEDWire - 9/10 by Rob BlackwelderWhile mixing in ample amounts of urban black culture, Washington shows a flair for the traditional '40s detective.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Janet MaslinIn 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.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Hal HinsonFew films are more assured in their storytelling or build more forcefully, irrevocably toward their resolution.
