Good Mystery With Meandering Plot
4 April 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This is a watchable mystery but you can't really say why. It has a sort of meandering, rambling plot but strangely it works. Although the films are no way comparable, it is same type of unpredictable plot as Tarantino's "From Dusk Till Dawn". You just don't know where it will go next, and maybe they were making up the plot as they went along, but you want to watch it anyway.

The performances here are delivered straight, even the vampire angle (which the characters know is suspect, if weird.) As usual Baxter is strong and trustworthy, Brooke is classy and untrustworthy. These two solid performers do a good job and will not disappoint you.

The very last scene with a cop and the Crime Doctor talking real estate exemplifies the ambling but viewable style of this type of script, where sometimes the action is quick, yet characters have time to chat about whatever. Be it Tarantino or the writers here, you are always able to watch and be entertained all the way through.
