When
the police chief (Washington) of a small Florida town
"borrows" money from the evidence room so
he can run away with a woman (Lathan) he's always been
in love with, she quickly betrays him, revealing that
she only began having an affair with him as a way to
seek revenge... Now, with his reputation and career
on the line, an otherwise good cop must resolve his
life before he runs out of time.
Carl
Franklin made the excellent noir/thriller "Devil
In A Blue Dress" and the not so excellent "High
Crimes". Let's hope this is more like the former
which was also Denzel's breakthrough star vehicle.
