China Moon

China Moon is a 1994 American neo-noir romantic thriller film directed by John Bailey and starring Ed Harris, Madeleine Stowe and Benicio del Toro.

Bodine tutors Dickey in the ways of homicide investigations, stressing that all murderers make stupid mistakes, which is how they get caught.

Back at home, she gets drunk as she looks at a private investigator's photos of Rupert making love to one of his employees, Adele.

Rupert is intimidating and emotionally abusive towards Rachel, who decides to give in to Kyle's advances and start an affair with him.

Their affair quickly picks up steam, and Kyle urges Rachel to divorce Rupert.

Rachel arrives at a hotel in Miami, and the concierge hands her an envelope which contains the picture of a rental car and its keys.

She stops Kyle from calling the police because she points out that she drove back from Miami without checking out of her hotel, just like her murder fantasy.

Using his skills, he helps her carefully clear the crime scene, even removing the bullets from the wall, spackling over the holes and painting them.

Lamar starts to unnerve Kyle, who begins to doubt Rachel is telling him the truth.

Back at the Munro house, Kyle discovers the photos of Rupert and Adele in Rachel's wardrobe.

Kyle is summoned to a meeting with his supervisor, who suspends him pending an investigation into his involvement with the case.

After a second, more forceful interrogation with his supervisor and Lamar, Kyle returns home and re-examines the pictures he discovered at Rachel's.

Adele meets with Lamar, and he pays her for her part in the scheme, after she shows him a ticket to prove that she is leaving town.

They arrive as Kyle is searching for his pistol underneath the driver's seat in Lamar's car.

The following songs are used in the film: Some of the live music scenes include Sam Myers on harmonica and vocals, and Anson Funderburgh on electric guitar.
