Zero Effect (1998): The world's greatest detective Daryl Zero aided by his associate Steve Arlo investigates a complex and mysterious case of blackmail and missing keys for shady tycoon Gregory Stark who is less than forthcoming about what is really happening! (6.9)
Director: Jake Kasdan
Stars: Bill Pullman, Ben Stiller and Ryan O'Neal
It is a comedy, mystery and a romance. I think it got the mix right. It is a detective story about people, really, and ultimately the PI finds out more about himself than anything else. The acting performances are pretty good and the story isn't half bad, considering most Hollywood scripts are half-backed. It is commendable that the writer/director didn't go for the feel-good sentimental story-book ending. My Rating: 7.0
