Dennis t A really lame way to send Columbo off. The murder was an accident and that alone ruins it for me. The obnoxious techno music if you can call it music is beyond horrible. The episode before this was really good and even had a line that people only remember movie music if it's bad. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Donald A A definitive best of the later Columbos, "Columbo Likes the Nightlife" is a detailed television film, making the best out of Peter Falk's last legendary sleuth performance and not focusing too hard on the perpetrator and leaning harder (wisely) on the titular detective. Above all, a smart ending and capture by Columbo seals the deal on this fantastic television show. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The Columbo murder mystery series comes to an end with the mediocre thriller Columbo Likes the Nightlife. When a freelance journalist is found murdered, the case leads Lt. Columbo back to a nightclub owner who's involved with an actress that the journalist was doing a story on. The acting is rather poor, and even Peter Falk seems to be phoning in his performance. The storytelling is also particularly weak, as the clues are extraordinarily obvious and the characters are underdeveloped. Additionally, the soundtrack is amateurish and uses generic club music that's extremely cheesy. Columbo Likes the Nightlife is an underwhelming crime thriller that tries to coast by on the old Columbo charm, but it's not all that compelling.
