  • OT: Touch of Evil - Director's Cut
In a dirty, forgotten border town between Mexico and North America, a car bomb explodes and kills two people. Mike Vargas, a Mexican prosecutor gets involved in the investigation, while the lead policeman Hank Quinlan is reluctant to cooperate. Demoralized and corrupted by the violent death of his wife, Quinlan undertakes investigations at his own discretion, often beyond the law, and is prepared to use violence if necessary. He has no qualms about joining forces with drug dealer Grandi against Vargas. A duel to the death develops between Vargas and Quinlan. With its story of murder, marijuana and police corruption, Touch of Evil is one the the last of the 1940s/50s cycle of crime thrillers known as film noir. Welles’ vivid turn as corpulent bent cop Quinlan provided one of the genre’s most memorable villains.
