      nick s I found the comedic moments bothersome to sit through. Just depends if you like lighthearted, whimsical detective stories with cute banter between the leads. Not for me. Very stilted support cast. The main actors are competent enough though. Don't expect a lot of cunning as far as the plot goes... the heroes are saved more by dumb luck. If anything their efforts are bumbling near the end. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review bill t Although more slick looking then the others, this seems to lose a bit of the Wolf's sleaziness as a grandmaster thief and making him into a Thin Man clone. This one's about plans for a super spy plane. Half of them are stolen, and the thiefs are trying to get the other half, but Lone Wolf plays switcheroo a lot with them throughout the entire movie. Best scene happens at a Surrealist party (!!) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
