Just finished watching this and all i can say is 'BRAVO'. Finally someone has made a great movie, especially when there is a lot of trash being produced these days. Charlie and Mel were amazing. Lets hope there are many more to come, PLEASE.

What we have here is a bog standard gumshoe flick with a few quirky characters thrown in to spice things up. A solid B list cast support the two main players while Mel Gibson steals the show. The staging is adequate and cinematography bland with a TV movie asthenic. The plot is generic with the usual twists but nothing to write home about but the big let down is the script. This movie would've really benefited from some snappy dialogue, some wise cracks and pithy one liners. Instead the script is dull and lifeless which is a shame as the foundations are solid.

This movie should adapt itself extremely well to an ongoing TV series. The characters and their eccentricities and dynamics would transpose well to TV.

This film was an all around bore and such a waste of talent. The 110 min runtime felt like over 3 hours, with slow pacing, and long dragged out and unnecessary scenes. I've never read the novel, but what I saw here was the lamest whodunnit film I've seen in a long time. The genres labeled where Action, Crime and Mystery, and I struggled to find any one of them. There were characters that were irrelevant and pretty much filler and a waste of film. The story was nonsense, and the sluthing was infantile and illogical. The screenplay was riddled with plot and technical issues, and scenes felt unfinished and/or unnecessary. The writing and some of the dialogue felt lazy and sloppy. It's something I'd expect to see on Lifetime in one of those murder-mystery TV shows with no name actors. Mel Gibson shined and pulled off that drunken snob Brit accent with ease, and Hunnam was ok. I wanted to see more of Morena Baccarin in that smoke-show outfit. Most of the cast did their best to save this mess, but even with the cool soundtrack, this was a huge miss. It's a generous 6/10 from me, mostly because Gibson was the only entertainment in the entire film.

Yes its simple and filled with cliché's but still very enjoyable. Could be better? Of course. Could be much worse? Hell yeah. So I'll take what i can here.

I personally don't get on with arty style productions. I hate that the camera is rarely straight and level or we have to watch the scene unfold from behind a fan, inside a cupboard or from the building opposite. So at first I was not impressed by this. But I did actually grow to like it. This has a real film noir feel about it as the main character slugs it out with thugs between meeting with alluring fem-fatal. There is a mystery here that you can solve yourself but it is not really Earth shattering. I watched this with my girlfriend and we both enjoyed it. The characters are quirky and interesting and I enjoyed the way the story unfolded in several layers.

This kinda detective thrillers used to be regular in the late 80s n early 90s. This one reminded me of Chinatown too. The movie is not at all boring n moves at a decent pace. There are many poorly developed characters n the only flaw i found is rather than making it into a dark n tension filled murder mystery, the makers opted it the more comical n light hearted approach.

I don't write many reviews so when I do the movie has to be really good (or really, really bad). This movies is funny, witty and keeps you guessing. Solid acting all around, not too long and had some quirky characters to keeps things interesting. Definitely one of the better movies I've seen this year. You could say this type of film has been made before and you're probably right - but it's unique and entertaining enough for me to easily recommend it.
