Overview

To the Los Angeles elite, Ford Fairlane is known as "Mr. Rock 'n' Roll Detective." This loudmouthed ladies' man serves an exclusive rock star clientele, who depend on his keen eye and smug discretion. So when a heavy-metal musician dies mid-concert, Fairlane is on the case before the lights come up. But things turn shocking when radio personality Johnny Crunch hires Fairlane to find a missing groupie mere hours before he is electrocuted live on air.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A loud, brash noir parody set in the rock 'n' roll underworld, where the detective is as much a showman as the criminals he chases. It's all irreverent energy and winking genre pastiche with little interest in making sense.
