Ex-cop P.I. Brenner has been sent to a little country inn to repo the car of one Mr. Horvath — but nobody at the inn is willing to admit they know of Mr. Horvath. Then Mr. Horvath’s car vanishes. Rather than give up and go home, Brenner gives in to his cop instincts that something is not at all right in the little community and stays on for a while. He’s right, of course, and as the secrets keep being revealed, this comedic thriller gets increasingly complex and entertaining. Add to the violence and laughs a touch of romance and some genuinely touching moments, and you have a very good, if a touch strange, movie.
