If you saw the first film then there are no surprises in the set up of the characters as they remain true to the book. The plot is good and has the usual twists and turns. Chad's somewhat laid back approach to the part has hidden depth in this film and the falshbacks are very well dealt with. I enjoyed this film very much and look forward to the next one. May even buy a copy to keep in my collection.
This is one of four films starring the famous gay detective played by Chad allen - who is gay himself - and it would not make any difference - except he plays the part so naturally that being gay is not an issue. great story and twists like the old detective stories of who did it.
The others are great too.
third man out
ice blues
