Storia
Nick Starkey, once a policeman but forced out due to scandal, is taken back into the fold after a serial killer begins terrorizing the city. Working alongside his former partner Frank, Nick tries to uncover the killer's identity and motives while navigating a web of corruption and bribery that threatens to ensnare Frank's wife as well. The story unfolds as Nick races against time to set a trap for the killer without involving the compromised police force.
Riassunto
January Man is a neo-noir thriller directed by Pat O'Connor in 1989, combining elements of mystery, action, and comedy. It follows the redeemed cop trope with Nick Starkey, played by Kevin Kline, as he attempts to solve a series of murders while confronting his own past mistakes. The film's setting in New Orleans adds a unique cultural backdrop to the story.
