JOHN ROSOW (MICHAEL SHANNON) A PRIVATE DETECTIVE IS HIRED TO FOLLOW A MAN ON A TRAIN FROM CHICAGO TO LOS ANGELES. ONCE IN LA, HE FINDS OUT THE MAN IS A MISSING PERSON WHO HAS BEEN DECLARED DEAD FROM THE TERRORIST ATTACKS ON THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. ROSOW IS OFFERED A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO BRING THE MAN BACK HOME TO HIS WIFE.
THIS MOVIE DEFINITELY HAS A LOOK AND FEEL TO IT, ALMOST LIKE A CLASSIC NOIR FILM FROM THE FORTIES. SHANNON PLAYS HIS USUAL JUST SLIGHTLY OFF CENTER CHARACTER VERY WELL. AND WHILE YOU WOULD THINK HIM TO BE A LOUSY DETECTIVE HE IS IN FACT A VERY GOOD ONE, BUT NOT PERFECT SINCE HE DOES MAKE SOME MISTAKES ALONG THE WAY. THERE ARE NO BIG ACTION SCENES: IT IS JUST A QUIET CHARACTER DRIVEN MOVIE THAT IS VERY GOOD.
RATING 3 OUT OF 5
THE RENTAL DVD HAS NO SPECIAL FEATURES.
