Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone drawn to the darker side of the street and anyone who wants a laugh. Low effort, high reward: just press play. If you loved Pulp Fiction, start here.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Light on its feet, at 1 hr 27 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off

- Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
A private eye who's over his head in debt takes on a job snapping photos of his client's rich husband in bed with another woman. But when the husband winds up with three bullet holes that seem to have come from the private eye's own gun, he's got to prove he's not the murderer meanwhile getting tangled deeper in a web of deceit, lies, and steamy night club dancers!
