Movie Review
Grade: A
Devil in a Blue Dress is an intriguing thriller about one man caught in a big mess. Denzel Washington is that man, and he helps pull off what might well be one of the most invigorating movies of our time. Cast, setting, and plot are all perfect, and the twists and turns keep mounting. At some points, the story becomes a little too complex, where you don't really understand what is happening, but everything is straightened out by the end. Devil in a Blue Dress is an exciting and well thought out film portraying 1948 Los Angeles. Read the full movie review
