Pretty Darn Good

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 1999)

I greatly enjoyed this film. For one thing, its full of interesting characters played effectively by good actors such as Devito and Cromwell. Their are the three detectives; the ideal, by the book one, the cynical one, and the tough, loose cannon. Then there is the police captain and the gossip magazine owner. This film is also shot well. Take for example, the way the camera follows the detective as he investigates the Night Owl Cafe. The camera work and well-written plot provide much excitement and tension. But I thought they gave away too much too early in the story. This was perhaps not the best movie of 1997, but it was better than Titanic!
