Ramsey: The Vandy Case

Murder mystery about a child star that becomes a cop and gets shot and killed while walking the beat, alone, in a dark deserted alley behind a auto junkyard. This actor and policeperson is never seen again. Could have used a bit of backstory.

The sister (also a child star from "Family Jewels" tv show (ha ha they said Family Jewels when talking about a kids show.) hires a PI who has a teen daughter and is separated from his wife and family.

Things move along until they decided that a subplot about sexual addiction should be added to the plot. Slightly different from Alcohol or opioids or some other plot trope.

This really doesn't add to the plot. Sexual encounters are in the plot but "addiction" only comes up with some support group that his other PI friend belongs to.

The Twist ending could have been done without any addiction at all and only men/women cheating on their respective spouses.

Lots of characters giving exposition in lieu of showing us stuff.

The noir detective drama is back baby. Ramsey's title character is an ex-cop turned P. I. who's hired by a classic femme fatale to look into the murder of her sister. You know where this is going. Envy, lust, crooked cops, and the threat of another killing all loom heavy over this moody modern day telling of a story dripping with moral ambiguity.

Is it perfect? No. There is some repetition which could be solved by another pass in the edit. And some of the locations tend to start looking very similar. But the lead actor turns in a complex, vulnerable performance which is plenty to hold our interest. If you're looking for a throwback to the 1970s crime era, look no further, you could do much worse.

The plot is very intriguing and keeps you guessing the whole time. It is very unpredictable, and that's what makes Ramsey: The Vandy Case so special. The story unfolded in a very unique way. I really enjoy these types of movies with a private investigator as the lead character. I like mystery movies, and this one will keep you on the edge of your seat every step of the way. The cinematography was excellent, especially in some of the night scenes. Credit goes to the writer for creating such a unique story and plot. There are even some emotional moments which are unexpected and powerful. Give this one a watch!

"Ramsey: The Vandy Case" is directed by Tom Ryan and written by Chris Suarez.

The movie is an indie noir that follows a PI named Kevin Ramsey as he tracks down the murderer of a wild television star. The story unfolds as a mystery of who killed the star with a twist ending. The acting is perfect for a modern noir, which is helped by the cinematography and scoring to move along the mystery and suspense.

The movie features a stand out performance by Jim Thalman as the title character and he is joined by Jeanine Bartel, Nixon Cesar, Derek Michalek, and Sebastián Ospina. The whole cast is very strong.

The movie is available to watch on Tubi as "Ramsey". I highly recommend checking it out! Especially if you are a fan of noir and crime dramas.

This is an indie crime drama that revolves around the murder of a female cop. Private investigator Ramsey is tasked by the victim's sister to help solve the murder. Ramsey, played by Jim Thalman, is a very compelling and likable character. While this is a slow burn film and some scenes could be tighter, the story is very entertaining and engaging. It has a very clever twist and also explores interesting relevant topics that many crime films don't. If you enjoy crime stories as much as I do, you should definitively give this movie a chance. Filmmaker Tom Ryan does a good job at keeping you guessing until the very end!
