Additional InformationThe year is 1948, the place is Los Angeles, and Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins (Denzel Washington) is a black man who has just lost his job and is in dire need of money. So, despite having no experience as a private eye, Easy accepts an assignment from a seedy man (Tom Sizemore) to find the missing Daphne Monet (Jennifer Beals), the mistress of a powerful mayoral candidate. As Rawlins conducts his search, he unexpectedly becomes drawn into a complex racially-charged web of intrigue involving political machinations, double-crossings, blackmail, and mysterious deaths. With the aid of his trigger-happy friend Mouse (Don Cheadle), Easy must rely on his instincts and neophyte detective skills, not only to solve the case, but also to save his life. African-American director Carl Franklin (ONE FALSE MOVE) brings Walter Mosley's crime series to life with this dense thriller, aided greatly by Tak Fujimoto's sun-soaked photography and an electric soundtrack reflecting the music of the times. As Easy Rawlins, an everyman who finds himself an unwilling pawn in a dangerous game of mystery and murder, Washington delivers an intense performance. It is Don Cheadle, however, who steals the show, giving his hot-tempered Mouse a comic humanity that is at once menacing, hysterical, and unforgettable.
ReviewsVariety - An engrossingly atmospheric dip into the dark waters of postwar urban intrigue....Washington's performance is alert and subtle..., Rolling Stone - ...[A] whip-smart and sexy film....Denzel Washington is flat-out perfection..., Premiere - "...A potboiler overflowing with possibilities..." - Recommended

  • Easy Rawins on screen

    Walter Mosley's first Easy Rawlins novel became a film. For the most part it follows the scenes in the book, T was 'early days' in the boo series of which (I think) are now 17 titles.. It is not a bad movie, I enjoyed it as a companion piece to the book. Really Netflix or Disney should turn the novels into a series. I do wonder why there were no other films made.

  • Classic noir film has everything you'd want

    Just as good as the book by Walter Mosley. Great cast, Denzel Washington is Easy Rawlings. Try the books they are a must read. You won't regret getting both the books and this classic film too. A desert island pick for sure. Tony.
