Devil in a Blue Dress

This is a very seductive picture, with Washington posing in a vest or a snappy hat, a cool jazz soundtrack, lots of vintage cars and hopping dialogue.

I liked the movie without quite being caught up in it: I liked the period, tone and look more than the story...

...rests on the shoulders of star Denzel Washington, an actor who's controlled, capable and normally not much fun to watch -- no one does moral outrage the way he does, but he's always verging on priggishness.
