This week's suggestion is the oft overlooked 1989 movie The Zero Effect starring Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller. A dark comedy/detectve story, filled with subtle humor, great characters and a good plot.
Do not worry if you're not a Ben Stiller fan. I'm not. But he's great in this.
But this movie is driven by Bill Pullman as the reclusive PI Daryl Zero. He is both funny and desperately vulnerable. It's been whispered that this character was the insperation to create Monk. Whether or not this is true, Daryl Zero is truely a great character - afraid to be in his own skin when not working a case.
Run out today to rent The Zero Effect
