**SPOILERS** a lot of neat references to some of the things that news reportage as part of the Sixty's radical anti-government left action groups. Starts out as a light-hearted look at a smart private detective who's career is exactly Jake Gittis'. Dreyfus plays this part very well. Susan Anspach is a former crush whose murder changed Wine (Dreyfus) into a guy who's more than a little P.O.ed at authority, the government, the me-generation ex-hippie phonies that his ex-wife is being seduced by, and, mostly whoever killed his girl. He has to deal with all of it, and one really good scene was when he was in a prison where a brother and sister radical are in for (I believe) killing a cop in an explosion)., When Wine, asks how long they are in for, he is told "forever". When he is interviewed by the F.B.I., he sees how they have surveilled him deeply, and how they didn't care about and were disdainful of Lila, (Anspach).
He verbally levels their Karma, and sets out again on his quest. He discovers what he must, tracks down the bad guy, and exacts revenge; disguised as self defense. It was neatly done. I've read the negative reviews, and I disagree. I think it is a very good movie; alternately fun and serious, with a good ending, and a character who is a good guy. These days, are there ANY good guys out there? DVDs are available, but they are expensive, so if you can get it, well... Okay. I stand corrected by myself. By God, just had the thought to find out if Amazon was gonna re-release it; they have. I ordered it. You might wanna too...
