(02/01/1998, p.50, Christine James): "...[A] sharp, original, unflaggingly hilarious debut....The wryly intelligent, creative script serves the story, the characters and the actors well, never disappointing in ingenuity or opportunities for uncanny comic timing..." -- 4 out of 5 stars |
| More Information |
| Details: |
When a blackmailed millionaire mislays his safety-deposit box keys, it sounds like a job for mysterious, antisocial private detective Daryl Zero, whose crack powers of deduction are strong enough to estrange him from the rest of humanity--except for his partner and "translator." But a suspect in the case, a lovely paramedic, engages in a battle of wits with Zero, bringing him out of his shell and complicating the case. An engaging and disarmingly fresh first effort from Kasdan. |
