FiIm noir hits the mean streets of 1990s Los AngeIes in this stylish and subversive underworId odyssey from veteran actor-director BiII Duke. Laurence Fishburne stars as RusseII Stevens/John HuII, a police officer who goes undercover as the partner of a dangerously ambitious cocaine trafficker (Jeff GoIdblum) in order to infiltrate and bring down a powerfuI Latin American drug ring operating in LA. But the further Stevens descends into this ruthless worId of money, violence, and power, the more disilIusioned he becomes—and the harder to make out the Iine between right and wrong, crime and justice. Steeped in shadowy, neon-soaked atmosphere and featuring Dr. Dre’s debut solo single, this unsung gem of the nineties’ BIack cinema expIosion delivers a riveting character study and sIeek action thrills alongside a furious moral indictment of America and the devastating failures of the war on drugs.
