Review of Watching the Detectives (2007) by Satu S — 17 May 2010

A entertaining comedic drama, with a great pairing from cillian murthy as neil, and lucy liu asviolet, a strange acting lady he meets while serving her in his struggling video store, neil a film geek proudly running his store competing against the big chaines, lives his life by movies and watching them and not really experiencing life where violet, who doesent really watch tv or indeed rent movies lives her life experiencing what life has to offer, rather than letting movies and tv show how, the two two start a friendship and love blossoms, and its here that neil sees certain weird things about violet, but it could be his pervect match, the two leads give a lot to the script, and is full of nice touches, lots of movie references and little nods help film nicely, and a lot of the film reminded me of high fidelity, but then this goes places, the film runs nicely and again showing cillian murphy is a actr to watch.
