Q & A Reviews
Q & A
this movie starts off in the first hour really strong, then the second hour came by and i lost track on what was going on, nolte is awesome in the movie though and the main reason to check this out, the music in this movie is really cheesy
Ultimate Modern Noir
The film noir genre is marked by themes of corruption, femme fatales, crime capers gone bad, and A-social characters. 'Q&A' has it all and then some. Of course the other film noir trademark is stark black and white images, but if this modern noir was photographed in black and white it would probably be too gritty to even watch.
Timothy Hutton plays former flatfoot and now rising Ass't District Atty. Kevin Riley. The political ambitions of his boss however intersect with a famous and dangerous NYC police Lieutenant (Nick Nolte in perhaps his greatest role) a kingpin dope pusher (Armand Asante) the local mob and even Riley's ex-girlfriend.
The film begins with Hutton interviewing Nolte regarding the death of a hood whom Nolte claims to have shot in self defense. It seems simple enough at first but when more "Q&A's" regarding the shooting bring up some serious unanswered questions, traditioanl loyalties, a past history, and a political future all begin fighting for equal time in the mind of Kevin Riley whose whole world begins to unravel.
New York City doesn't make it as the glittering metropolis candidate city for the 2012 Olympics in this one. Instead it looks like a low level of Dante's inferno at best and a sleazy underground stop-over for the depraved at worst.
A great story marked by very strong performances.
