26 Things We Learned from Jake Kasdan s Zero Effect Commentary He s the best with his face.
Columbia TriStar where we sit and listen to filmmakers talk about their work, then share the most interesting parts. In this edition, Rob Hunter revisits a comedy/mystery gem that deserved a bigger fanbase and an ongoing franchise, Zero Effect.
Twitter may be a cesspool for numerous reasons, but it has its highlights one being good people talking about great movies. Someone mentioned Jake Kasdan’s brilliant and shamefully underseen
Zero Effect (1997), and as you’d expect that forced me into a rewatch. The film remains a witty, surprising, and charismatic riff on the private eye genre with terrific performances from all involved. It’s silly, but Kasdan manages to shape the tone in some serious and seriously entertaining directions.
