The Private Eye

I didn't know what to expect going into this one. I'm a big fan of film noir films. I felt the film could have been a little shorter but nonetheless it was good. Very interesting story! I enjoyed the ride which had moments of humor, mystery, and entertainment. Plenty of laughs and many surprises in the film. Some good plot twists. Curious what is next for this young and upcoming filmmakers?

Buckle your seat beat for a wild and hilarious ride with Mort Madison as he tackles his most unusual case yet in "The Private Eye." With Jack Cook at the helm and a talented cast bringing the story to life, this film noir is sure to leave audiences wondering what is happening and laughing out loud and craving more.

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.

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".

It was a very refreshing movie, a very witty mystery. It had the independent grit perfect for a neonoir! I would recommend this to those detective film buffs... if you like Orson Welles or even Brick. I also enjoyed the sound track it made me feel like i was in Los Angeles. Definitely haven't seen this kind of Arthouse film in a while and wish they would make more of these. Afterwards i looked up the cast and could not believe who acted in this movie, a lot of recognizable faces, its cool to see where people start and where people are. Lots of cool long shots and blocking and a scene that stood out was the cab driver scene, the chemistry between those two actors was epic!
