Diamond (2026)

Diamond is a 2026 contemporary noir film directed by and starring Andy Garcia. The movie follows Joe Diamond, a detective haunted by his past, who utilizes exceptional wit and keen observation skills to uncover hidden truths and solve crimes in Los Angeles.

The film has been described by critics as a disappointingly superficial take on the genre, despite Garcia's dual role behind and in front of the camera. Tim Grierson, Senior US correspondent, reviewed the picture, noting its noirish atmosphere but criticizing its lack of depth in storytelling.

• Andy Garcia serves as both director and lead actor for the project.
• The setting is modern-day Los Angeles, reimagined through a noir lens.
• The protagonist, Joe Diamond, relies on intelligence rather than brute force to investigate cases.
