Review of The Big Fix

The Big Fix (1978)
4/10
Outdated seventies movie, lacking suspense, lacking drama, but full of corny seventies music, cheap photography and an unbelievable story. Richard Dreyfuss saves it. Barely...

In my quest to watch all the older Richard Dreyfuss movies I stumbled upon this one. Wish I hadnt, because it is boring, outdated and not credible. It is basically a cheap seventies tv movie, released for the cinemas.

Not that it is terribly bad. It isnt, but it just becomes tedious to watch after half an hour when I realise there isnt gonna be ANY real drama, there isnt gonna be ANY real suspense. Richard Dreyfuss acts well. He does save this tv movie from drowning. Let's forget I ever saw it.

The story for those still interested: private investigator Richard Dreyfuss starts searching for someone who is threatening a politician. With a lot of divorce talk mixed in between, because that is what they thought was kinda special in the seventies. Mixing boring ex-wife alimony talk with private eye work does NOT rock my boat though.
