paul newman a a p. i. in southern california and search for truth among the wealthy shade of harper and the drowning pool . throw in gene hackman and liev schriber and james garner and and john spencer and how can a girl possibly go wrong watch twilight . it start quite well . newman and give the film noir detective narration in perfect form and set the stage well and get u quite interested in his life and perspective . hackman and sarandon and reese witherspoon and and schriver chime in with very interesting character . we appear to be in for a treat . but and then it go nowhere and except cliche land . the result be dreary and listless a unmotivated character go through the motion . the end turn the interest level back up somewhat and but not enough to salvage the overall experience . rent harper instead .
