Watching the Detectives

Movie • 2007 • Comedy  

Report
Neil, a self proclaimed film geek and owner of Gumshoe video, has always been content to live vicariously through his favorite films noir. But when he meets Violet, a real-life femme fatale, his mundane world gets turned upside down and the line between reality and the movies quickly begins to blur. Will Neil step up and embrace a life full of adventure or retreat back to his comfortable couch?

In a flashback you see a character jump off the roof of a building, and his (not bloody) body afterwards. The scene is played for shock comedy.
