Girls After Dark

A movie I put on in the evening while playing board games with friends because it looked attractive. All of us tuned out of the game and laughed along to the serious, but not comical modern detective classic. Cooper had us all entertained through his ravenous adventures to find this girl, and the twist in the end is super fun.. not to mention plausible (in this day and age)!

My wife thought this was a lame movie, with bad acting and a cheap plot. Me on the other hand thought Clyde Cooper was made with the intention to look like an old detective series in the style of Mannix, Magnum, PI, Moonlighting or other detective shows from the eighties. Peter Daskaloff must have watched all those shows when he was young, like me and many others did. If you watch Clyde Cooper with those shows in mind then it isn't that bad. I could see Clyde Cooper as a detective show instead of a movie, that would work better. But I can see the point of my wife, the acting isn't award winning neither is the plot, but I saw much worse so it wasn't all that bad to me.

Total waste of time...bad plot, bad acting, terrible! Lots of fake reviews, how can this get 9 or 10 stars?

I wasn't expecting much but Jordi Vilasuso as Clyde Cooper showed signs of becoming a big star. The female cast were all lovely and charming. And the script was funny. I liked it. It won't win any Oscars but it's not a waste of time.

A really good detective movie in the old film noir tradition. All the elements are there, the P.I., the missing woman, a body, and some strange characters. The real mystery lies elsewhere, and it has more to do with who these people are and how they stand with each other and the world.
