Nick Nolte, Chazz Palminteri, Michael Madsen, and Chris Penn make up the notorious "Hat Squad," that will stop at nothing to rid L.A. of criminals.
This neo-noir film brings back the look and feel of 1950s L.A. and unfortunately was not to receive the acclaim that was given to the similar L.A. Confidential one year later. That is a shame as it is almost as good.
Jennifer Connelly is at the center of things as she is found dead and just happens to be Nolte's mistress from the past. A black and white film is found with her and the head of the A.E.C., General Timms (John Malkovich). I can assure you that Connelly looks as good in black and white as she does in color.
Treat Williams is the bad guy here as he tries to protect the general and the secret they share in the desert.
Good stuff.
