Madam D @Madam1948 Jan 16 There were lines that made me laugh, but this was more of a sad drama. Lots of unanswered questions, like does he support himself or does his parents give him money? See more Troy R @Grim16 Sep 8 Adam Brody does a great role, mostly carrying the movie by himself. The start is funny and silly, but it twists into a dark and deep ending. Particularly the final seen being a chilling scene that I imagine many who have gone through hardships can relate to. Story was great and it was even better because you never really saw the next step coming. See more IrateTyrant C @IrateTyrant 02/08/2025 Move over MYSTERY TEAM, a movie with substance I truly enjoyed this movie. Adam Brody is wonderful, as always, and the director (Evan Morgan) is finally stepping into his own path. His previous credit was The Dirties, which I didn't really like that much, but respected for what it was. In the same vein, it takes a dark subject matter and provides light to it, before winding down into a strong ending message. The detective work in this one is what really drew me to the story. I've been reading a lot of detective novels, and this one really followed a great pace with those. The humor also really brought a lot of bonus entertainment. It begins as being almost comparable to Mystery Team (2009) but strays away from the formula little by little until the end reveal which is just a complete shocker. Sure, I should have seen it coming. Great movie. See more Gareth D @HiGarethDavies 02/08/2025 Slow, stupid, funny parts not funny, dramatic parts not dramatic - overall a total wet sponge. Meh. See more Jackson S @JSchu01 01/11/2025 Good, what I think/hope is an original screenplay! It feels as if it as a coming of age aspect to it as Adam Brody’s character starts to come to terms with reality as it is and not as he perceives it. Does a great job of making you laugh and honestly feel emotion. It wasn’t really predictable either. The soundtrack was well done as it adds to the quirky and serous tones used throughout. A great job of pacing and not adding too much extra fluff to pad its run time. Definitely worth a watch! See more Paul G @RT67423558 12/23/2024 Adam Brody does a good job as the failed detective with finally a serious crime to investigate. It's got a nice feel to the film, it kept me interested and wanting Abe to succeed. Certainly worth a watch. See more Read all reviews
