One of Denzel’s most underrated films, and one of his best. Don Cheadle was oscar worthy.
Fun fact: Mouse was originally for 2Pac, but he was incarcerated at the time.
Wow! Really? Interesting.
No offense to Tupac, but I'm glad Don Cheadle played the part. He killed the role in a way that I can't imagine someone else could have. I can see why they wanted Tupac, though; he seemed fitting for the way Mouse was written in the novel. Book Mouse was a lot more brazen and cold-blooded than in the movie. However, In the movie, even though he was crazy, Cheadle portrayed him with some familiar, humorous, and even endearing qualities. He was awesome. You know you have to be a bad somebody to steal scenes from THEE Denzel!❤
I really love this movie. I wish this was a hit so they could have done more Walter Mosley books put on the screen.
Yes I agree with you it shows more of what easy Rollins was going through but as a detective he was more brilliant than the police officers and more in the books the police came to him to help them solve cases they could not
Me too. I would have loved another Easy movie.
This movie was a head of its time. I went to see it twice when I was a young 27 year old man. I saw it once with my girlfriend at the time and then again by myself. I think this generation would appreciate it more because this generation of conscious black people love their history.
I still remember when this came out, still to this day one of my favorite films period. Doesn't get the credit it deserves . Walter Mosley is an amazing author, the book was so good. It really captures the time in his writing.
I ❤️ A Devil in a Blue Dress!!!! I'm so glad that you reviewed this movie. We need more Black movies in this genre.
Right! I wish they made more ❤️
Who's stopping "us"? By the way, the box office said otherwise. But I bought a DVD anyway
@@PapaEli-pz8ff I have the DVD too!
Mouse is an iconic 'Hitter" but he is lethal!!!
“If you ain’t want him dead EZ then why you leave him with me” 😂😂😂😂
Facts
😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best part 😂
Facts 😂. Mouse a real one for real
Love this movie!! So excited about this review! Don Cheadle's character tho?! If you didn't want him dead, why you leave him with me?
🤣🤣🤣 like seriously Bumpy!
This is almost like a forgotten Denzel movie. It doesn't get mentioned when discussing his better movies but it's worth having in the collection. I didn't know it was based on a book series. I don't know how well it did at the box office but I'm guessing that if it had done better we may have gotten at least one or two more of the books from the series adapted to the screen.
Another dope review.
Edit:
Yeah, I looked it up and it bombed at the box office despite positive reviews.
Thank You I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️❤️
yeah, he wasn't a drug dealer, woman beater, thug, etc...just a good Black man...Hollywood and the world wasn't ready...you have to remember that this came out after...Boyz in the Hood, New Jack City and What's love got to do with it.
Man, Denzel was finer than frog hair, split three ways and sanded! The only other movie he was in that topped this finenessness (yes, I made that word up!) was Denzel in Ricochet!....and I will be looking for a Struggle Reviewz of that, too!
Just watched this movie for the first time recently. My husband said Mouse was low key a serial killer 🥴🤣
One of my favorite movies! Such a great detective noir💯Thank you Tyra!!👏👏💖💖 And thank you Context Matter for sponsoring this review🥇
That Urkel clip🤣🤣🤣👍
I haven't seen this retro movie in a minute. I still love this movie. Great retro movie review.
Thanks to Context Matters for requesting this video
I appreciate the shout out.
Great review, very entertaining. This movie is definitely a classic and Denzel was doing his thing. Don Cheadle stole the scenes he was in.
Thank You ❤️
Mouse was THE REAL MFN DEAL
No one in the comments is tipping their hats to Director/Actor Carl Franklin?!
Carl Franklin that many of us ol' folks remember best as "Thelma's" boyfriend...was it "Larry"? on "Good Times"
Last thing of his that saw was one or two episodes of the HBO WWII miniseries "The Pacific"
Anyway, the sets, props and costuming for DIBD were SUPERB!
I can't help but love it as I spent four years of my childhood just blocks away from "Ezekiel's" house in the film, just off of Adams Blvd.
When I look at those exterior scenes I can almost hear the Helm's truck coming!
Eve's Bayou Struggle Reviewz brought me here! yay!
I really love this movie 🎥 so much a underrated Denzel movie along with Ricochet
Lisa Nicole Carson was definitely a 90's female Super 🦸🏿♀️ Hero what happened to her???
I had the biggest crush on her back in the day
She had struggles with mental illness I believe schizophrenia or bipolar disorder!❤️😣
@@StruggleReviewzTV bi-polar actually watched a video about her yesterday.....she would have serious breakdowns
Thanks for the review! I remember going to see this movie when it came out! I was like what is up with this brother“Mouse”??? 😂 I was hoping that we would get a sequel but no dice. It was competing with the movie Se7en which came out the weekend before. Of course, Se7en was making ALL the money, Okay?
I'm still binge watching your videos...lol this was a fun review.
If Se7en hadn't been in theaters at the same time or Halloween curse of Michael Myers this movie may have been better received but it came in 3rd that's not bad.
Out of the other 14 books which story would be best to make it to a movie? Who thinks Marshala Ali would make for a great Easy Rawlins. I would choose the rapper T.I to play Mouse.
Not Dupree...Joppy! lol! i just know every frame of this movie....one of my favorites of all time!
I know I'm late for the party but get this:
Over more than a decade ago, Lil' Critic did his take on this movie, that man got no filter whatsoever. 🤣
You should do a review on “woo” it’s on Netflix right now
Great movie. Great reviewer. Amusing and enlightening.
she was the same lusty female in the movie Life that got Martin and all his money at the bar
Oh how I’ve miss this Tyra @StruggleReviewzTV
Me too! 😂
"SHE LOOK LIKE A THUMB" 😂
lmao I JUST DIDNT GET IT!
Loving this!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Great review, the film was good, it was not one of Denzel's best films, but he played the role great his character reminded of Humphrey Bogart in those 1940s films, they were planning to turn Devil in a Blue Dress into a tv series after the film release but never came through
Correct it was on coincide with easy Rollins and mouse getting into more trouble and more the backstory in the film about mouse killing somebody and easy had to flee from Texas and made his way to Los Angeles. I have to agree to me this is one of his good films and I love these Humphrey Bogart's new one you are type scenario such as Chinatown , last man standing with Bruce Willis etc
Can you review Jawbreaker? We just watched it! And it has so many quotes and looks!!! 💅🏾👄👗👠👡💄👜
🗣️“I Killed Liz, I killed the teen dream DEAL WITH IT! & Smile Pretty Courtney!” Are my favorite quotes💕
@@StruggleReviewzTV yaaaaass! "Liz Purr is the cats meow"
@Struggle Reviewz TV when Julie is at prom, says, "Eat $hit!"
@@StruggleReviewzTV one more 🤣 " How could she do that? She's so evil, and she's only in high school! "
This movie too me was weak in my opinion and out of time movie too by the same director
And you really don’t like nothing to lose that I heard about and too me is bad Martin movie is wild hogs
