After bouncing about in a couple of good Blu-ray editions, Carl Franklin’s superior film adaptation of the great Walter Mosley novel makes the jump to 4K. Denzel Washington’s star quality and acting prowess shine in the smart production, with Tak Fujimoto cinematography that put the color back into ’90s filmmaking. There’s plenty to enjoy in this hard/soft-boiled tale, starting with the great music. Everybody’s good and Don Cheadle’s loose-cannon henchman ‘Mouse’ is terrific. It’s one of Washington’s best pictures, and should have initiated an entire franchise of Walter Mosley / Easy Rawlins detective adventures.

Lionsgate has resurrected Tulia, the long-gestating Tollin-Robbins project starring Halle Berry as a lawyer investigating an infamous Texas drug bust. The producers are in negotiations with Carl Franklin to direct the feature.
The film centers on the 1999 arrests of 46 black men in the impoverished town of Tulia, Texas -- a sting effort where no money, drugs or illegal weapons were found on any of the suspects. Berry will portray the lead attorney for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, which intervened to free the citizens wrongly convicted based on one crooked cop's testimony.
The story is based on the nonfiction book "Tulia: Race, Cocaine, and Corruption in a Small Texas Town" by Nate Blakeslee. Karen Croner wrote the screenplay.
The producers are: Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Sharla Sumpter for Tollin-Robbins Prods.; Berry and her manager, Vince Cirrincione; Jesse Beaton; Adam Rosenfelt and Sam Nazarian, both of Element Films, who will produce in conjunction with New Orleans-based LIFT Films.

Returning home to live with one's parents is a potential nightmare for most ambitious adults, but the protagonist in Carl Franklin's new film is obligated because her mother has cancer and her busy, important dad needs help. In fact, he needs a lot more, starting with forgiveness -- or at least tolerance -- for his philandering ways and cold, detached persona, even in the face of tragedy.
Universal's prestigious release starring Oscar winners Meryl Streep and William Hurt, with Renee Zellweger playing the lead, needs a lot of help too. But critical reception for Franklin's subdued adaptation of Anna Quindlen's novel is not likely to be true-blue, and audiences are unlikely to support "One True Thing" beyond an initial flurry of interest in major markets. Women in the mood for a good weeper may boost boxoffice and ancillary-market returns over time.
A full-out, nose-blowing, hanky-soaking experience it will be for some, while others will remain unmoved -- though the sight of Zellweger scrunching her face in sadness is nearly impossible to watch without a sympathetic whimper or two. A fairly routine family drama elevated to Hollywood event by the presence of Streep and Hurt, "One True Thing" seems bucking to become the all-time "Mom's dying" movie.
Unfortunately, there's a distracting, ultimately pointless framing device, with the duplicitous Ellen Gulden (Zellweger) snookering a district attorney (James Eckhouse) about her family dynamics. Franklin and screenwriter Karen Croner keep secret why Ellen's under the law's gaze but have no trouble letting us know that her mother's expiration is a bit of a mystery.
Several times, the film returns to the gentle grilling of Ellen to fill narrative holes, but one is never engaged by the gambit. Taking place in the late 1980s, the story flashes back to a surprise party for professor and intellectual George (Hurt), engineered by full-of-cheer, slightly daffy Kate (Streep).
Streep's mom is strong in the ways of a woman who has raised kids and sent them into the world, joined social clubs and kept a happy face during the long, winding road of marriage to a driven, demanding mate who cheats on her with his younger, no-doubt-boneheaded students. Who wouldn't be sympathetic to her plight, despite her occasional blowups and denial?
Ellen's brother Brian Tom Everett Scott) is not integrated much into the scenario and basically serves to show again what a rotten dad George is. Brian is flunking out of Harvard and has no professorial ambitions -- what a jerk George is to expect his species to multiply. But hot-shot New York magazine journalist Ellen's tenuous hold on a career is even more a generic distraction, starting with hard-to-please George giving her the same cliched advice he has given all those adoring pupils for decades.
Filling out the overlong movie are sundry subplots and atmospheric disturbances. But when cancer treatments start and Kate goes downhill fast, the movie goes for all the fleeting mom-and-daughter moments with a vengeance.
Nothing special visually and a bit too cloying for the usually more rugged Franklin, "True" is admirably earnest but hardly an important addition to his resume.

Brutally graphic, with an unfliching, hard-consequences finale, "One False Move'' will rivet Jim Thompson fans -- it's in that intense, unsparing tradition -- but its quick-trigger and rub-your-nose-in-it squalor are likely to hold only the most minuscule of movie audiences. Plugged with riveting textures and coarsed with raw contradictions, the film will likely fare well in its special space on the video shelf.
The film opens with a nauseatingly vivid drug murder in Los Angeles -- two dealers, accompanied by a coked-out woman, wipe out an innocent family. They're a scary group, a pathologically violent white-trasher Billy Bob Thornton), a clinically cold, black genius (Michael Beach) and a desperate, whacked-out mulatto with the nom de streets of Fantasia (Cynda Williams).
With a bundle of coke, they blast out of Los Angeles, heading to Houston to unload the stuff, with an eventual destination of Star City, Ark., where Fantasia grew up and, in her rattled drug delirium, yearns to return.
They don't exactly leave the scene of the crime without clues, and it's not long before the LAPD figures out their destination, sending two veteran homicide investigators (Jim Metzler, Earl Billings) on their trail. Up ahead, they've alerted the Star City sheriff, a local-yokel lawman nicknamed Hurricane (Bill Paxton) who's thrilled by the chance to do some big-time stuff.
Cross-cutting between the events of the chase and the dirtwater Arkansas burg where Hurricane is whetting his chops for action, director Carl Franklin has cranked up an unnervingly tight-triggered film. Screenwriters Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson's scenario never relents from the out-of-control nature of the trio's bad acts.
The performances are chock-full with hard mettle. Thorton is rivetingly vile as the explosive dealer, while Beach's portrayal of his methodical accomplice is cunningly powerful. As Fantasia, Williams is the film's most sympathetic character, soundly limning the horrific downspin of an abused woman who keeps coming back for more.
Paxton as the good-ole-boy, backwoods lawman, gets to this grit of his inner fires, revealing the dark flecks in his good-guy/white-hat persona.
The technical credits are tough and crisp. Top marks, especially to Peter Yaycock and Derek Holt's score: a raw swirl of blues and hard roads.
