Title: Disappointing Parody of Film Noir
Review: Bad acting (embarassing for stars like Peter Boyle and Marilu Henner), poor settings, bad camera angles, and comic book characters are only the start of this poorly done collaboration of Coppola/Wenders. Wim does a particularly bad job of directing a movie set in a genre he doesn't really understand. It comes across as a German director's idea of what film noir is all about. He should have watched a movie like Chinatown at least once for some inspriation on how a modern treatment of film noir should be done.This movie comes across as something that was done on such a limited budget, it couldn't be made well.It stinks!
