Regina King in Truth Be Told 2002
Upon first encountering Regina King’s character (Rayne Johnson), she seems to be the obedient secretary to an investment manager. At the bus station, she becomes entangled in a mob slaying, but two police detectives quickly whisk her away. She is unaware that these cops are unscrupulous and pursuing the profits from a drug deal her boss is involved in. However, appearances can be deceptive. These corrupt police officers believe that Rayne is merely a timid financial assistant. But in reality, her character is a stripper, lap dancer, and hooker who is assisting her boss (the owner of the strip club where she works) on a drug deal. Rayne manipulates everyone who is chasing the money.
