YMMV / Devil in a Blue Dress

• Ensemble Dark Horse: Many critics praised Don Cheadle as Mouse. He shows up near the end of the second act as a hilariously unhinged badass that proves to be a surprising asset to Easy.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • Albright threatening to stick a knife into Easy's eye shows him to just be an unethical thug.
  • The reveal that Terell was a serial pedophile.
  • Joppy's murder of Coretta really drove home how much of a despicable person he was.
• One-Scene Wonder: Mixed with Small Role, Big Impact. Maury Chaykin only has 2 scenes as Matthew Terell with a third being a flashback of one scene. He not only proves himself to be a disturbingly slimy creep but The Greater-Scope Villain as well.
