When a missing man's family doesn't want him found, they hire Robert Bogerud, a gumshoe in the Bogart mold who just so happens to have Down syndrome. (Netflix)
Reviews (1)
So I'm thinking that this movie was mainly made so that viewers could say, "Hey, there's a guy with Down syndrome in the lead role, so it must be great because it plays on a certain level of empathy." However, even though the detective is quite decent and the premise isn't bad, essentially what's missing here is some better humor, and unfortunately, the plot isn’t anything dazzling either.
