Jake Kasdan made his feature film directorial debut with this oblique thriller about eccentric private detective Daryl Zero (
Bill Pullman) and his sardonic front man partner Steve Arlo (
Ben Stiller). After the two are hired by blackmail victim Gregory Stark (
Ryan O'Neal), Zero sets up a sting operation and soon focuses on his suspect, Gloria Sullivan (
Kim Dickens), a woman he met at a health club. Thinking Zero is an accountant, she asks him to look over her tax return. Clues form a trail to hitman Kragan Vincent (
Matt O'Toole), who could be Gloria's father. Amid the romance and revenge, Zero manages to write a few songs (actually written by
Pullman and
Kasdan).
