As in his 1977 film THE LATE SHOW, Robert Benton focuses on a private detective who`s playing the back nine. With the passing of a quarter century, however, the director`s tone had grown more somber. Paul Newman stars as the detective, Harry Ross, living in semiretirement in Santa Monica on the estate owned by his movie-star friends, Jack (Gene Hackman) and Catherine Ames (Susan Sarandon). When Harry delivers a package as a favor to Jack, he finds fellow private dick Lester Ivar (M. Emmett Walsh) dying from a bullet wound. Harry checks out Ivar`s apartment, where he uncovers 20-year-old clippings relating to the disappearance of Catherine`s first husband. As he tries to get to the bottom of the case, he enlists the help of a former lover, LAPD lt. Verna Hollander (Stockard Channing), and receives unsolicited assistance from feckless chauffeur Reuben Escobar (Giancarlo Esposito). Ex-cop and former studio security chief Raymond Hope (James Garner) also seems to know a thing or two about the case. Strong ensemble acting and Benton`s characteristically nuanced and intelligent writing highlight this sinuous, richly textured murder mystery.
