It is my personal opinion that this film would have rated a lot higher if the main character had been a man and not a woman. V.I. Warshawski is a private eye in Chicago who is left with a thirteen year old girl who is the inheritor of a potentially vast estate with the murder of her father. Investigating why the father was killed leads to several interesting discoveries. One of the uncles is trying to kill the girl to get the estate. The mother of the girl, after shooting her husband, the uncle, turns out to be just as greedy and she is willing to kill her own daughter to get the loot. V.I. ends up having to kill the mother to save the daughter. Boy can the P.I. take a punch from Wayne Knight. Knight is some kind of union scum but V.I. gets even for the beating. I enjoyed this movie and found it to be pretty good entertainment.
