About this item

Based on Colin Harrisons acclaimed novel MANHATTAN NOCTURNE (a New York Times Notable Book of the Year) , MANHATTAN NIGHT tells the story of Porter Wren (Adrien Brody) , a New York City tabloid writer with an appetite for scandal. On the beat he sells murder, tragedy and anything that passes for the truth. At home he is a model family man, devoted to his loving wife (Jennifer Beals) . But when a seductive stranger (Yvonne Strahovski) asks him to dig into the unsolved murder of her filmmaker husband Simon (Campbell Scott) , he cant resist. In this modern version of a classic film noir, we follow Porter as he is drawn into a very nasty case of sexual obsession and blackmail -- one that threatens his job, his marriage, and his life.
