It's all in the location. More precisely, it's the shooting on location that makes work like this truly shine. Whether it's through Sidney Lumet's cold and muddy New York City, David Simon's inner-city Baltimore corners, or Michael Mann's near-insane dedication on display in Public Enemies, reality can only be shown to an audience, cast, and crew by way of this kind of authenticity. To forgo any attempt at simulation and ground a fictional work in a real world; this is the fundamental backbone of the sociologically-minded film noir and I love it. DC Noir captures the area perfectly for a truly immersive experience. As for the vignettes themselves, one of the strongest elements at play is how each one focuses on characters from different walks of life. This really helps sell the angle of this anthology being about more than just an assortment of individuals, but a multi-faceted and diverse community (be it racially, economically, etc.). While DC Noir's being an anthology film maybe doesn't capture the feeling of a multi-POV novel a la Heat, Widows, or anything by David Simon, the effort it makes is commendable. It asks that the audience see beyond each of these shorts as a simple genre exercise and consider how, in spite of their lack of plot intersection, they work together to showcase life for those effectively trapped in The America Left Behind. On a technical level, I thought the composition of scenes and usage of depth of field were quite beautiful to look at. The music and sound design were on the mark as well; this is a competently, professionally produced film. The first two stories are, unfortunately, a bit weaker and some of the performances momentarily suffer as a result, but these are ultimately forgivable stumbles in an otherwise powerful, if somewhat superficial, examination of a little microcosm of society's failings. For fans of crime fiction with a more sociological edge, this is a title worth checking out. Happy watching! LC.

Low budget indy anthology based on the short stories of novelist/screenwriter George Pelecanos (The Wire, The Deuce) delivers on many levels with four short films featuring exemplary acting from known and up and coming character actors. This is noir, so many of the stories deal with fate and end in tragedy, all of it earned. An interesting example of what filmmakers who lack tremendous funds can do with good writing and direction. On the music tip, watch for Wale, Back Yard Band, and an original score from Fugazi's Brendan Canty. Filmed entirely in the District by local crews, this is straight D.C., .

The actors are really good. The soundtrack too. The style is a bit like a down to earth mini Sin City without the special effects. They did a really good job and I recommend it to anyone who like the noir style.

These 4 vignettes were hard hitting doses of street life. This was a nice break from my normal entertainment.
