and Benicio del Toro is a fine noir, set in the Motor City, and sporting a properly convoluted and interesting plot line based on a true story: the collusion among the Big 3 to hide catalytic converter tech information from the feds.
Don't expect, "The Naked City," and settle back for an above average drama with a surprising number of gifted male actors (Liotta and Damon with nice cameos)--- the females were a minor league few.New on HBO Max.

I was a bit put off by the fisheye view, I thought something was wrong with the version I was watching, then I read that this was just the way it was shot. I'm not sure why, but OK, if that's his vision, I'll roll with it.
Born and raised in Metro Detroit, I absolutely loved it. The film really did a GREAT job capturing the Detroit of the '50's.
