Jaunty shaggy dog buddy detective flick from Shane Black, very much in the vein of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. There's two down and out blokes who can nonetheless punch around - one of them's got a young teen daughter which is reminiscent of The Last Boy Scout.
There's clever reversals, a decent mystery, some charm, well done outbursts of action. This draft is set in the present day, has a role for Michael Sarrazin as himself, and ends with a political assassination - I understand it was changed. Enjoyable romp.
