After a swing at being a movie star, Ed Burns went back to basics and made another lower budgeted film playing a private detective who looks after the ex of David Krumholz. It's not a bad premise for the movie but there are no twists and turns. It's mostly Krumholz and Burns trudging around New York and talking.
Krumholz is a boor - attached to his vows, a dull person, all too easy to see why his wife left. Burns isn't that interesting - he has charm, cranks aout the rich, his wife is dead... Both Krumholz and Burns help each other come out of their shells, I guess, but not to a great degree. Certainly not an itneresting one.
They don't find Kitty to the last few minutes. It's not that compelling. When Burns ask her why she left, he already knows.
Burns has some nice by play with Connie Britton as his neighbor and it would've been a better movie had she hired him to track down her husband or something and it had played as a romance. As a bromance it's not that exciting.
