Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe producers had originally negotiated a deal with Autumn Reeser where the nudity would have been a lot more limited than what you see now in the movie.
- GoofsThe Thunderbird Antonio is driving in most of the movie has no back seat, just half moon headrests that go into the back deck. In the last scene as they are driving away, the waitress and the gecko/lizard are in a backseat.
- Quotes
Detective Poley: What the fuck's all this got to do with finding the stripper?
Ned Cruz: What the fuck's a busted condom got to do with your birth certificate, Poley? It's just cause and effect.
Featured review
A whole lot of fun if you just pay attention
Some very good acting (especially from Sam Elliot), an unusual script filled with sometimes strangely funny references to cosmological and particle physics, and a jazzy style of direction lead to an inexpensive, yet engaging "private detective" story. Antonio Banderas' Latin, fish-out-of-water accent (the detective) initially seems odd for such an iconic American role, but in short order, it just blends-in with the many other off-center characters and events that populate the film.
It's flaws are irrelevant and understandable considering its limited budget and shooting schedule; it's a refreshing hour and a half of entertaining stuff that smartly never takes itself too seriously.
