Sleeping Dogs

The only present concern for retired homicide cop Roy Freeman (Russell Crowe) was trying to stave off the encroachment of dementia. However, evidence has come to light in a notorious, decades-old case of his--involving the murder of a college professor (Martin Csokas)--and his now-challenged recall might be a death row inmate's only salvation. Riveting adaptation of E.O. Chirovici's "The Book of Mirrors" also stars Karen Gillan, Tommy Flanagan, Thomas M. Wright. 110 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
