plays it. comes off quite close
to the material that it came
from But the movie [dot is
right out of a TV show
The Itooks have a lot in com
mon with another series about
a private eve, the Spenser nov
ids by Robert B. Barker There's
the atmospheric locale ( hit ago
instead of Boston There are the
deli berate IV rat ia'lly mixed

Until detectives are single with
continuing love interests and
both are outside of societal
norms when it comes to matters
of the kitchen Spenser t an
make a gourmet meal out id
leftovers while V I couldn t
make a piece of toast
Turner ts the standout in the
film She is a Ini of Lauren Bu
call with a hit of Veronica Lake
thrown in She is street-savvy,
strong willed and the white hot
sensuality that usually per
vades every role she plays is
delightfully understated and
subtle
Unfortunately, the plot lor
V / Warshawski is about as
complex and involving as a
typical episode of .Spenser hir
Hin' That may he good televi
sum, but it's mediocre filmmak
mg .1 strictly pedestrian plot
V 1 (Victoria to her friends)
is hired by the thirteen year old
daughter of a former hockey
player who was almost V 1 s
boyfriend, until he was killed
Hoodlums all over town
seem to be involved But most
of them are extraneous bad
guys thrown in just to kill time
They have no more personality
than the cardboard they wore
cut out of If you've M»n five
episodes of urn TV detective
show, you'll have this one fit’
ll r o <1 o u t ii bo u t bull w it v

Wh.it works best in this film
is the comedy But this is sup
posed to be an action thriller
and that's what fails. Angela
C.oethuls plays Kat Grufalk, the
street smart thirteen year old
who hires V I to find her dad's
killer They have some great
scenes together
Although the movie was only
mediocre, I am still lixiking for
ward to a sequel, which Kathleen
Turner apparently wants to do.
i'he character is well defined and
interesting I’herc's a lot of [xiten
tial if a competent s< ripl is writ
