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 saw "The Private Eye" first in a theater a few months ago and absolutely loved it. Interesting story with several twists I didn't see coming and the cast was amazing led by Matt Rife, Clare Grant and Eric Roberts. With what I discovered at the end of the movie (no spoilers here), I can't wait to go back and watch it a second time streaming. The flash back sequences along with the unique film noir were very well done. I rate this movie a 10 mostly because for a low budget indie movie (probably done for under $3M), it was very well done and most importantly a GREAT story! Can't wait to see what Jack Cook comes up with for his next movie!
This movie was a gritty awesome work of art. It had a slow pace but if you get it you get it! It also had a unique humor that i have not seen in a long time... was not slap stick... more sophisticated.
The acting was great did not know Matt Rife could act! After watching The Private Eye I looked up, found out Matt Rife has done since acting and has a new movie coming out soon, Rolling Loud... can't wait to see this... And i always love seeing Eric Roberts, that last scene with Eric cracked me up! I was so curious about the lead female intentions and even the twist was revealed it blew me away.
This movie is fire the FILM lovers!!!

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.
