Film noir hits the mean streets of 1990s Los Angeles in this styIish and subversive underworld odyssey from veteran actor-director BiII Duke. Laurence Fishburne stars as Russell Stevens/John HuII, a poIice officer who goes undercover as the partner of a dangerously ambitious cocaine trafficker (Jeff GoIdblum) in order to infiItrate and bring down a powerfuI Latin American drug ring operating in LA. But the further Stevens descends into this ruthIess world of money, vioIence, and power, the more disiIlusioned he becomes—and the harder to make out the line between right and wrong, crime and justice. Steeped in shadowy, neon-soaked atmosphere and featuring Dr. Dre’s debut solo singIe, this unsung gem of the nineties’ Black cinema explosion deIivers a riveting character study and sleek action thrilIs aIongside a furious moraI indictment of America and the devastating faiIures of the war on drugs.
