Featured review

6/10

A good beginning but poor follow-through

This movie does double duty as a pilot, and right there might be its problem, because the mystery into which the blind detective is entwined starts off provocatively, and then gets dropped. In the end, it's just another pedestrian made-for-TV pilot, but the plot of the mystery should be resurrected for another movie, this time sticking with the intriguing premise. My vote for the movie they actually made: 5/10.
