Clyde Cooper

A neonoir puzzler in the spirit of classic Chandler/Bogart flicks but with a protagonist who vapes instead of chain smokes. Jordi Vilasuso is an extremely charismatic gumshoe. Like any strong detective movie, it bears (and practically requires) repeated viewings. Whether or not you can piece together the plot on a first watch, the scene-to-scene action is delivered with flair, energetic pace, and cool visual concepts. Genre aside, this is an indie thriller with high production value and a dynamic ensemble cast. Clyde Cooper has the potential to become a fictional universe in its own right.

A really good detective movie in the old film noir tradition. All the elements are there, the P.I., the missing woman, a body, and some strange characters. The real mystery lies elsewhere, and it has more to do with who these people are and how they stand with each other and the world.

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!

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.
