S. O @Col._Angus Jul 20 If you're a Bill Pullman fan you will love this. It's also fun to see a young Ben Stiller, as his career was getting started. I'm from Portland, so it's fun to see this snapshot in time, when the city wasn't a disgusting, steaming cesspool of trash and drug addicts. Overall the story is fun. I'm not sure I'd recommend it, but it's a fun ride. See more C.S. M @RT20841719 Jul 17 As a neurodiverse person I f-ing love this movie. There are aspects about Mr Zero's personality thaf just really resonate. Its well paced. Its got a wonky sense of humor that I absolutely love. See more Donald A @TheRealAckervold 01/07/2024 Zero Effect is a slick, witty, and a comically brilliant retelling of the World's Greatest Detective. Bill Pullman is hilariously charming, and one of Ben Stiller's less heavy-on-comedy roles is additionally well-rounded. Throw in a fantastic breakthrough performance from Kim Dickens, and a surprisingly dynamic Ryan O'Neal, and Zero Effect all but lives down to its title.

I mean – what is the reason that we didn't get more of Daryl Zero? Sure, this movie was not perfect, far from it, but it was also a very, very promising start. I would gladly watch more and there is plenty of material to go by (didn't Conan-Doyle wrote fifty-six Holmes stories)? "Zero Effect" has dry, sleek style that I enjoyed for what it is. This movie is very 90's. It is also such a subtle retelling of "A Scandal in Bohemia" that I didn't realize what it was until after it was over. And you tell me that this was done by the guy who directed both of the new "Jumanji" movies? Just let this man meet with Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller again (both of them are great in this movie)! Just let them make a sequel! Perhaps a version of "Shoscombe Old Place"? Or even of "The Final Problem"? That, I think, would be a great, mature movie. Just don't let them anywhere near "The Hound of the Baskervilles". That story sucks. See more Bob B @RT04010261 08/08/2022 This is one of the best movies ever made. And it has one of the coolest the soundtracks ever. Nick Cave rarely makes it onto a movie soundtrack. I don't even wanna talk about the movie but just think modern day Sherlock Holmes and go see it! Combined with Permanent Midnight, Thick as Thieves 1998 ( The Alec Baldwin one not the Morgan Freeman one) and Suicide Kings they make up a quad of the most criminally underrated movies of the 90s and possibly of all time.
