Product Information
Screwball comedy meets film noir in the light-hearted romp, WATCHING THE DETECTIVES. Cillian Murphy forgoes the menace of past roles in RED EYE and BATMAN BEGINS to play film buff Neil. He's so busy watching and quoting movies that life is passing him by. Enter Violet (Lucy Liu, KILL BILL VOL. 1), a free-spirited beauty who doesn't even own a TV. Opposites inevitably attract, and soon Neil's life is thrown into fun-filled chaos. Violet believes in living life, not watching others do so, and her energetic approach has an effect on Neil. <BR>First-time director Paul Soter (of Broken Lizard comedy troupe fame) helms this film that's a love letter to cinema's past. Violet is a modern-day femme fatale to Neil's na∩ve sap. His movie geek status gives the film license to reference everything from the obscure (TOXIC AVENGER IV - CITIZEN TOXIE) to the classic (BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID). Insider references aside, the best moments in WATCHING THE DETECTIVES come when Neil indulges the cinephile within, especially when he's joined by partners-in-crime played by Jason Sudeikis and Michael Panes.Product Identifiers
