There is one thing that makes this film special and that is the persona of Daryl Zero. He is played in a spectacular way by Bill Pullman, who makes the script take life, making simple lines sound really funny and interesting!
Guy Ritchie probably copied a great many things from this film and from the way Pullman plays Daryl Zero in his Sherlock films with RDJ.
So yes, this is a film Sherlock-style with a detective and a sidekick investigating a case.
The dialogues are strong, the acting is strong by all the leads, the music score is very nice, and its definitely one of the 90s films that you will enjoy watching nowadays.
I have to say that I was surprised by Pullman; i had no idea he can act like that (judging him only from independence day and other mainstream films).
In this film he had an opportunity to make this character one of the coolest cinematic detectives I have seen.
Kudos to Jake Kasdan for directing and writing; this is solid film-making.
You can tell the enthusiasm in making this film by the camerawork, props, editing and ofcourse the delivery of the lines and the acting; all the actors are giving their best (and Ben Stiller is toned down to a normal person here...).
Highly recommended if you are looking to see something cool and funny. 9/10.
