Knowledge Workings T @Knowledge-Workings 1d Who wants to keep watching the same old plots and tropes? Not me. That's one reason why I found The Dummy Detective highly enjoyable. Sean Young is a hoot and Ed Altman delivers a swell performance. See more Alexandra B @555alexandra 2d Absolutely loved this film! Such a great mystery with the perfect noir feel, a top tier cast and great writing. The film kept me guessing until the end and had a mix of humor, mystic and lots of heart. Need a sequel with more adventures from Trillo and Suede!! See more Zachary S @zstrobes 3d For an independent, shot-on-location, direct-to-streaming movie, the film has an insane cinematic feel. I really wished I could see this flick in a movie theater because it looks that impressive. Rob Margolies’ direction and Juri Beythien’s atmospheric cinematography is reminiscent of Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis’ films from the 1980s, because the film isn’t afraid to experiment with its framed shots and lighting, which is highly appreciated. The story, characters and mystery itself are a bit traditional, but that’s kind of the film’s charm. The film is written and acted like a pastiche of old-school mysteries from the Golden Age of Hollywood. The characters might seem too dated to exist in a modern story, but the film does include enough contemporary updates and believable writing to make this world feel plausible. Overall, the film is a lot of fun, and I definitely recommend it. You can tell everyone went the extra mile in every department. See more Ed B @EdBungert 4d First of all, it is so great seeing Sean Young, whom I've loved seeing act since Blade Runner, in The Dummy Detective. This buddy detective movie captures excellently the film noir vibe and delivers laughs, some great lines, and a robust plot that is so much fun to follow along as you try to figure out, along with the dummy detective and his partner, who done it. Some good old-fashioned storytelling here. Don't miss it. See more Sabrina G @sabrinazg 5d If you love funny detective films with psychological twists and turns you'll love this! It plays with the genre and it's unique with the dummy detective duo. Must-see! See more Rob M @DannyBoy65 Nov 20 Refreshing doesn’t even come close to described what this fantastic film has pulled off. I laughed my behind off and at the same time I was guessing what was going to happen next. The director of this did a masterful job balancing a film that could have gone wrong in other hands. See this for the humor and intelligence! See more Read all reviews
