Director
Alan Rudolph's 1989 model mood piece stars
Tom Berenger as shabby private eye Harry Dobbs, who is hired by the mysterious Miss Dolan (
Anne Archer). Dolan wants Dobbs to tail her abusive boyfriend, Rick (
Neil Young). Dobbs immediately demonstrates his uncanny powers of detection by trailing the wrong man (
Ted Levine), whose story turns out to be far more fascinating than Rick's. Meanwhile, Dobbs is himself pursued by female P.I. Stella Wynkowski (
Elizabeth Perkins), which hardly pleases Dobbs' jealous girlfriend, Doris (
Ann Magnuson). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
