The Adventures of Ford Fairlane
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.
Critics Sentiment
Fairlane kills Grendel with flammable milkshake and cigarette
Fairlane continues searching for remaining CDs and Zuzu
The film dips to its lowest point during the middle investigation segments where reviewers noted sloppy editing, then rebounds strongly for Grendel's creative death scene.
The film starts strong with Dice's charismatic performance and solid supporting cast earning praise, but sags in the middle where reviewers noted pacing issues and convoluted plotting. It recovers for a satisfying action-heavy finale that showcases the film's over-the-top strengths.
