Pete TravisCity of Tiny Lights (2016) movie trailer stars Riz Ahmed, Billie Piper, James Floyd, Cush Jumbo, and Roshan Seth. City of Ting Lights‘ plot synopsis: “Meet Tommy Akhtar (Riz Ahmed), cricket fan, devoted son to an ailing father and deadbeat private eye. He’s got an office above a cab firm, a taste for cigarettes and bourbon, and a finely tuned moral compass that he keeps hidden behind a sharp cynicism. When Tommy walks into his office one morning to find high-class prostitute Melody seeking his help, he’s launched into a story that plays as an utterly original modern noir.”

I am a fan of film noir films and french new wave films. City of Ting Lights is in-tune with both genres of films. Tommy Akhtar (Riz Ahmed) looks like he gets in way in over his head. The investigation of a disappearance leads to something that seems rather compelling involving the elite of the city. I imagine that when Akhtar catches the sent of prey, his bone, he is a dog that can’t stop, even if that will save his life.
