Dir. : Carl Franklin
Chief of Police in a Florida town, Whitlock, himself gets implicated in a set up by the wife (Merai) of his colleague whom he tries to save from her husband out of sympathy. His wife, detective Alex who investigates the murder set up in which he is implicated has just planned to divorce him begins to suspect him from the cues she received.

It's enjoyable.
IMDB Summary:
"Denzel Washington plays Matt Lee Whitlock, a respected chief of police in a small town on the Florida Keys. He is in the middle of a divorce and also in a liaison with a married woman (Sanaa Lathan). His police force has captured some drug runners with $485,000. Matt takes the drug money out of his safe, and gives it to his mistress for her cancer treatments. Bad idea! Everything blows up in his face when his mistress and her husband die in a home fire caused by arson. Matt must solve this double homicide, before he becomes the number-one suspect. His estranged wife, a homicide detective (Eva Mendes), is collecting evidence and clues to the murders. Matt tries to stay a few steps ahead of his own police force, before he runs `out of time,' and ends up in jail. Douglas Young (the-movie-guy)"
