Fans of The Usual Suspects or The Departed should check out Slow Burn, a similarly twisty neo-noir starring Ray Liotta (Goodfellas). District Attorney Ford Cole (Liotta) finds his promising political career in danger when a dead body is discovered in the bed of his Assistant DA Nora Timmer (Jolene Blalock, Star Trek: Enterprise), who also happens to be Cole's lover. At first, it seems like a clear-cut case of self-defense, but then a video-store clerk with a strange sense of entitlement (James Todd Smith, better known as LL Cool J, Deep Blue Sea) suggests the killing is tied to an enigmatic criminal kingpin. From there, the plot defies summarizing: Conflicting stories are told in dimly lit interrogation rooms about mistaken identities, political machinations, lots of sex, and a wounded man unveiled by the light from a refrigerator. Everything hinges on real estate (a hint of Chinatown) and racial identity (smacking of Devil in a Blue Dress)--clearly, this movie is not afraid of flaunting its influences. All of these plot threads may not weave together seamlessly when the movie's over, but they catch your interest as it goes along. Slow Burn sometimes suffers from a needlessly slow pace (a few too many lingering shots of Liotta looking baffled or troubled), but the excellent cast--including Taye Diggs (How Stella Got Her Groove Back) as a jailbird with secrets, Chiwetel Ejiofor (Inside Man, Dirty Pretty Things) as a slippery journalist, and Mekhi Phifer (Dawn of the Dead) as the possibly innocent sap who ends up dead in Nora's bed--keeps the movie afloat. --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ray Liotta and IRMA THOMAS music and story
Disagree that there are too many takes of Ray Liotta's reactions to what is going on. Ray Liotta IS the reason I love the film. He is dramatic and that's the way his fans like him. Liotta is highly under-rated.
Also, loved the Irma Thomas music. "Sister" Irma Thomas is finally getting some mainstream exposure. The rain hides the pain...
Just wonder which of her albums this was taken from?
Interesting story.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Slow Burn
This was a very well put together movie. If you like Unusual Suspect then you will like this as well. You dont know who is the man. Keeps you thinking. Mystery.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - inscrutable film noir cop drama
In the opening scene of "Slow Burn," an assistant district attorney (Jolene Blalock) is found wandering the streets of the city, disheveled and confused, informing those who find her that she has just killed a rapist in self defense. The alleged attacker (Mekhi Phifer) was a man she supposedly met one night in a record store and who then proceeded to stalk her for weeks thereafter. Suddenly, into the head D.A.'s office strides LL Cool J, as a friend of the deceased who has a considerably different ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Slow Burn
This is a great movie if you're looking for intensity and excitement. It reminded me of the "Usual Suspects"



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - THE MOVIE IS WORTH YOUR MONEY GOOD PIC
THE ONLY REASON WHY I SAY THAT THE MOVIE IS WORTH YOUR MOVIE IS THAT IT HAS SEX AND VIOLENCE AND THAT GIRL Jolene Blalock IS SOOOOOOOOOO HOT CHECK HER OUT IN THIS MOVIE....I AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS SHE BLACK OR WHITE BUT WHATEVER SHE IS SHE IS FREAKING HOT I LIKE THAT I WILL BUY MORE MOVIES OF HER.
