Stranded at an island inn during storm, which has been taken over by a group of dirty cops searching for a cell phone, Eliot (Christian Kane) and Parker (Beth Riesgraf) need to work with Maria (Andrea Navedo) to uncover the truth of what the cops are really after, find it first, and save the hotel employees. Cut off from any support, in the middle of a hurricane, it doesn’t take the trio long to find a rhythm (and even soften Parker’s stance on Eliot’s new girlfriend) during scenes of characters getting rained on non-stop whenever one steps outside of the inn. Sophie (Gina Bellman) and Harry (Noah Wyle) provide back-up via a ham radio, with the later also making a save at a local hospital with a few nods to Wyle’s previous role on ER.

Noir Burlesque #1

/ / Comics

Enrico Marini’s Noir Burlesque #1 begins a noir tale set around a local mob boss, a returning solider turned professional thug with a debt to pay, and the beautiful dancer who will come between them. Marini’s first issue gets the tone of the genre with Slick being a bit too rough for his own good getting into trouble with Rex and his former love Caprice who is now married to the mob boss he owes money to.

Noir Burlesque has the feel of a story which won’t turn out well for any of our characters. The muted art with splashes of color captures the feel of 50s noir while the story unfolds leading to a confrontation between Slick and Rex and an impossible task to clear our protagonist’s ledger.
