Finally, Frank, who is played with a smooth coolness by Denzel Washington that eluded the more rough-hewn Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney, does not come to a tragic end. Eventually, he is turned by an almost comically obsessive cop named Richie...

Their mission is to separate design from the mercantile world of branding, and give it its original, purer meaning: the creation of practical and beautiful objects that improve the quality of life...
