'Black Bird' captures the cat-and-mouse game around catching a serial killer
CNN
Taron Egerton stars as a jailhouse informant in one of Ray Liotta's last roles on Apple TV+.
Although Taron Egerton ("Rocketman," "Kingsman") plays the central role of Jimmy Keene, the suave drug dealer enlisted by prosecutors to help himself by helping them, the pivotal part belongs to Paul Walter Hauser ("Richard Jewell") as Larry Hall, who the police had dismissed as a blowhard, not a murderer, despite his confessions to them.
Hall might be creepy and odd, but those qualities -- from the Yosemite Sam facial hair to the way his voice trails off into high-pitched nothingness -- explains why law enforcement hasn't taken him seriously. Still, there appears to be a trail of missing girls behind his strange boasts, leaving shrewder investigators desperate to find tangible evidence that will keep him in prison, which is where Keene comes in.

Andrew Cuomo will not drop out of the New York City mayoral race by the Friday deadline to remove himself from the general election ballot, CNN has learned. That leaves in place contingency plans he had established before the Democratic primary to challenge Zohran Mamdani and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams in November.
