An enjoyable Neo-Noir with strong characters. Lily Tomlin and Art Carney were the highlight of the movie. Art Carney had a plethora of piffy one liners and his attitude fit the private eye role perfectly.
I think the movie missed out on being considered great due to the convoluted plot. Hard to keep up with whats going on. Many integral characters to the story are hardly, or never even seen in the film.
Watched this after seeing it on Siskel & Ebert, when they were discussing overlooked movies. I think due to it's convoluted plot the fact it was overlooked is no surprise.
Recommend, but not highly
