Slow Burn (2007) (R)

Quicklook Rating★★

synopsis

Ford Cole is a big-city district attorney with his eye on the mayor's office and a big problem on his hands. One of his deputies, the beautiful assistant district attorney, Nora Timmer, has just confessed to killing a man in what she claims was self-defense. A bad situation gets worse when an enigmatic stranger named Luther Pinks turns up at the police station to contradict Nora's story and paint a very different picture of Ford's talented colleague. With his career and perhaps his life on the line, Ford has a mere handful of hours to sort the truth from the lies in a saga involving Nora, a record store clerk, and a powerful gang lord.

MovieGoer Review

Consumed by its own cleverness, Slow Burn is a (very) mild diversion. Just don't expect anything more.

Story

Filmed four years ago, Slow Burn's uses shades of The Usual Suspects, a film it tries way too hard to emulat... MORE
