Cut-rate private eye Harry Moseby finds himself caught in a labyrinth of mendacity and murder. Hired to locate the runaway daughter of faded Hollywood actress Arlene Iverson, Harry heads to the Florida Keys, where what he considered a run-of-the-mill case turns into something much more. Meanwhile, his marriage is slowly disintegrating. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

Gene Hackman is very good in this film. On one hand - especially at the beginning - you get the feeling that he's a classic tough hero, but he really isn’t that tough, and he's definitely not Dirty Harry. He's got his problems and he's going to get into trouble. The storyline is not bad either and the finale is very well shot.

A slow and uninteresting film that feels twice as long as it is. The characters couldn't draw me into their world, and I didn't care about them at all. A good film needs more than a top actor in the lead role... Overall impression: 40%.
