About Devil in a Blue Dress
Denzel Washington stars as Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins, a decorated war hero who returns home to the segregation of post-war America. Forced to accept an under-the-table job finding a missing socialite, Easy is caught between the white power elite and the vibrant Black community of Central Avenue. And as soon as Easy and his trigger-happy friend Mouse (Don Cheadle, in a star-making performance) find the mysterious Daphne Monet (Jennifer Beals), trouble follows.

"As Devil in a Blue Dress maneuvers its way through its taut and savvy mystery I found myself glued to its every twist and turn." — Keith Garlington, Keith & the Movies
"Brimming with period detail, Devil in a Blue Dress also pulsates with social realism as it offers a black perspective on a familiar genre." — Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
