Aug 5, 2017Comrade Detective is a poorly made knockoff of a great Tarantino film - lacks all humor, art, interestingness, and feels horrifically forced. Nice try, Amazon!
Awards & Rankings
-
The layers of this narrative onion make the characters more complex than perhaps was intended. Crafted to embody a political point, which is at the same time being skewered, they are doubly (at least) fictional. Played by humans, they are inevitably humanized, and at some point, the ironies break down and you care what happens to them, as people.
-
The result is a kind of Mad magazine parody of tough-guy 1980s cop shows crossed with a Marxist-Leninist version of Woody Allen's hilariously counterfeit Japanese spy thriller What's Up, Tiger Lily?

Comrade Detective finds a middle-ground between genres with an internal engine driven not by malicious mockery, but by eye-opening insight. It slips in commentary under the guise of laughter, but the point of the joke, whether you chuckle or not, sticks with you.
