Plot Summary: A sexy, stylish thriller, "Slow
Burn" stars Ray Liotta as Ford Cole, a big-city district attorney with his eye
on the mayor's office and a big problem on his hands. One of his deputies, the
beautiful assistant district attorney Nora Timmer (Jolene Blalock), has just
confessed to killing a man in what she claims was self-defense. A bad situation
gets worse when an enigmatic stranger named Luther Pinks (James Todd Smith)
turns up at the police station to contradict Nora's story and paint a very
different picture of Ford's talented colleague. With his career and perhaps his
life on the line, Ford has a mere handful of hours to sort the truth from the
lies in a saga involving Nora, a record store clerk (Mekhi Phifer), and a
powerful gang lord.
EN 5 Second Review:
Dont bother. When LL Cool J turns up in something decent
we will let you know. Meanwhile check out hell freezing over.
Offensive
LL Cool J's ambition to make it sound as if he's "doin' it"
with every syllable that comes out of his mouth works to
campily put the fire out on the film's offensive pretense to
race consciousness Ed Gonzales:
