"Spiffy Puerto Rican noir with a black private eye as hero, based on the novel "Desamores" by political writer Wilfredo Mattos-Cintron, brings some nice ironic class tensions back into the genre. The story hovers over the uglier aspects of the beautiful people as the cynical detective walks a thin line between a corrupt plutocracy and a psychopathic criminal underclass on the streets of San Juan.
