The Private Eye

There needs to be more movies like this! The Private an Eye was an art piece or what you would call an Art House film. I think to be able to appreciate this movie you need to be a fan of Film Noir movies. You can tell this movie was shot on a shoe string budget but still captured the essence of the noir genera. The lead actor was great to watch, after watching a movie I looked up who Matt Rife and am now a fan of his comedy. It's very cool to see where people start. I think this movie would do well in Europe... I really enjoyed the long shots and the cast that showed up the CabDriver had me cracking up I wanted to see more of him!

Brilliant movie - I haven't seen a good movie in a while but this was great. The director did an amazing job. Character and plot development were great and it felt like a Jay and Silent Bob with a little Tarantino. If you haven't watched this go watch it. Matt Riffe also did a wonderful job. He really impressed me and he still brought his comedy.

I enjoyed it! I thought the acting was great especially Matt Rife, Denzel Whitaker & Eric Roberts ! Erik Griffin's scene is hilarious. One of best scenes in movie in my opinion. It was a fun ride. The movie poster was awesome. I thought some things could have been done differently but from what I hear and see these guys are young and this is the first movie they released. I think this is a kind of movie especially for film buffs and will discover even more the second time they watch it which I will be doing, I look forward to seeing Illusion Islands next film which I heard will be a horror film titled "A Soul to Squeeze".

I am a big Matt Rife fan and heard about the film and went to go see it., I was impressed with Matt's acting skills as well as the rest of this cast.

I read the other reviews and agree with what they had to say.

I heard this was one of 20 something movies that were completed during the toughest times of the covid pandemic.

Hats off and cheers to the cast and crew for completing this project overcoming various obstacles.

There was some great mystery and some really funny humor in the film. I felt the love scenes were too much. But hey, if you want to see Matt Rife make out to a beautiful woman Clare Grant or another singer/actress Lexy Panterra this is the flick! LOL Spoiler alert.

Looking forward to watching this in future again if and when it comes to streaming? Has anybody heard about that?

I love film noir type films. Film noir is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylized Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize cynical attitudes and motivations. The 1940s and 1950s are generally regarded as the "classic period" of American film noir. I felt that in 2024 they did a good job of bringing this type of film back. I don't think a lot of the young generation will appreciate this film as much as the older generation will but I could be wrong. I give 8 out of 10. Definitely could improve many things in this film but this supposedly was made on a low budget with some HUGE talent which is another positive. Hope to watch this again soon at home.
