Wealthy widow hires private eye to find husband who was in "real estate, taxes, pinball machines" two years after his supposed drowning. Yes, arcades were a lucrative business in the mid-80's. Decent watch.

Private eye goes in search of a presumed dead businessman, turning up with plenty of dead bodies and shady deals as leads are investigated. Solid effort in the tradition of an old film noir; with a good lead performance by Bryan Brown.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
