Clearly, from the other reviews this is a film you either love or hate. The detective feels he must solve the mystery but is there any mystery? If you can persevere through the low production values, rather clunky acting and script that seems to be going nowhere in the first half of this film I think you will find the payoff later on more than worthwhile. I found the film witty, clever and, finally, moving. The parable of the orange told by the zen master is a story I do not think I will ever forget. Also it shows what you can do with a DV camera, a few friends, and a brain. Can be seen online now for free at indie movies dot com.
