Tobias C @RT49545144 Sep 15 The only film I ever walked out on in the theater. Turner herself seemed decent, but the story and direction was preposterous with a physically untrained Turner karate chopping her way through henchmen five times her size. Also a bit disappointing for Chicagoans who hoped for an accurate representation of the city. See more Blu B @RT43513976 02/14/2024 The plot flat out is so convuluted it doesn't makes sense by the end. There is so many twists and turns in such a short runtime that would rather focus on making this a buddy cop (or baby sitting) movie than commit to being the serious crime drama/noir it tries to be half the time with a plot complexity pulled straight from Out of the Past full pun intended. Otuside of the title track the music is fogettable. Everything else about this isn't that good. Turner has prescence but is given a dumb kid cop and clunky dialouge that THINKS it's as sharp as the noirs of old it's trying to copy. The humor dilutes this also and never really works together with the crime drama. No one really has that much chemistry and it alternates between feeling like stuff just happens and it gets so complex I don't know what happened by the end. It's just a whole lot of nothing. Also the name Boom Boom is sooo stupid. No laughs, no thrills, no reason to see this. Skip This.

Mostly lighthearted crime-comedy with tons of quips, suspenseful story and Chicago well staged as location. It has not too much action but a nice speedboat race on the Chicago River. Overall very enjoyable movie. See more 09/14/2020 It's a silly movie for sure. But I found it the right kind of silly. The plot was possible (unlike many pi movies) and it moved along pretty well. See more 04/18/2016 Private investigator must find the killer of a hockey player whose daughter she was asked to look over. Together, Warshawski and the young girl partner up to investigate. Silly plot with unbelievable characters make this action comedy a forgettable mess. See more 01/28/2015 I guess I'm one of the few who really liked this movie. There were some great lines in it and I liked the characters. Kathleen Turner did a great job as usual. See more Read all reviews
