Clyde Cooper

I wasn't expecting much but Jordi Vilasuso as Clyde Cooper showed signs of becoming a big star. The female cast were all lovely and charming. And the script was funny. I liked it. It won't win any Oscars but it's not a waste of time.

This movie is astonishing! I usually don't enjoy the old noir type of movies, so I was a bit sceptical at first. The movie starts slowly, but with bit of patience, you get one of the best experiences a movie could provide- a detective story filled with drama, pretty girls and a lot of action. Can't wait for a second one!

There were some good lines, a good twist, a good concept. But seriously it was made cheaply and it shows. There was some terrible direction with stunted editing. It was an old and tired trope with very little to make it worthy. It would not surprise me if it gets some terrible reviews.

That said I did laugh a few times, at the end. It was good for a student work. But this was not what I would call a blockbuster film.

My wife thought this was a lame movie, with bad acting and a cheap plot. Me on the other hand thought Clyde Cooper was made with the intention to look like an old detective series in the style of Mannix, Magnum, PI, Moonlighting or other detective shows from the eighties. Peter Daskaloff must have watched all those shows when he was young, like me and many others did. If you watch Clyde Cooper with those shows in mind then it isn't that bad. I could see Clyde Cooper as a detective show instead of a movie, that would work better. But I can see the point of my wife, the acting isn't award winning neither is the plot, but I saw much worse so it wasn't all that bad to me.

A movie I put on in the evening while playing board games with friends because it looked attractive. All of us tuned out of the game and laughed along to the serious, but not comical modern detective classic. Cooper had us all entertained through his ravenous adventures to find this girl, and the twist in the end is super fun.. not to mention plausible (in this day and age)!
