Review of Ricochet

Ricochet (2011 TV Movie)
6/10
My gosh - for what it was supposed to be it was OK.

Yes, it's lightweight, and it's a shame to waste John Corbett on a movie like this, but it's sit-on-the-couch-and-wait-out-COVID-19 time, so I watched the whole thing. Formulaic, yes. But at least there's no conflicted romance between the two detectives. The plot got kind of hard to follow - too many characters dropping in and out, and one that was already dead and never dropped in at all. There was menace, but it too was lightweight, though it rose to a crescendo at the end. Corbett's character, soured on romance, is self-protective; reassuringly, he has a warm work relationship with his partner. I like Corbett (check out Elvis has left the Building and My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Gary Cole's subdued his role, Julie Benz was adequate, and I'd like to see more of Kelly Overton when we're no longer watching semi-soothing movies
