‘Where is your father?’ Denzel Washington’s character demands of a young delinquent.

Jason L. Riley:

Mr. Washington plays David King, a swaggering music executive and founder of a record label now in decline. King becomes entangled in a kidnapping plot when his chauffeur’s teenage son, having been mistaken for King’s son, is abducted by an aspiring rapper named Yung Felon and held for ransom. On its surface the movie is a police procedural. Yet it doubles as an engaging meditation on some of the best and worst aspects of black culture and the importance of father-son relationships.
