Goofs:
Anachronisms: During the scene were Easy is questioning Junior while Mouse is enjoying a plate of Pigtails, the music is the background is of Gospel Music Legend, James Cleveland. The setting is 1948, while the recording of Cleveland and the Angelic Choir singing, "Peace Be Still" was released in 1962. This style of Gospel music singing was still in it's pioneering days, thanks to Thomas Dorsey, during the late 40's and yet evolved into the style of singing that is featured in James Cleveland's much later arrangement of the hymn.

A good film noir by Carl Franklin (One False Move), with great cinematography by Tak Fujimoto ("John Adams", The Sixth Sense).
Denzel Washington is fantastic as 'Easy' Rawlins, with Don Cheadle as his buddy, Mouse. They battle Tom Sizemore in their quest to find Daphne Monet (Jennifer Beals).
You have the look and feel of the 30s throughout with the costuming, the cars, the talk, the cops, and the feel of the movie. It was a great nostalgia trip.
Lisa Nicole Carson ("Ally McBeal") also added some excitement before her premature death.
This was based on the first of Walter Mosely's Easy Rawlins books, and it is a good one.
