Originally broadcast as single episodes of a television program in 1998. Stacy Keach, Shane Conrad, Shannon Whirry, Kent Williams, Peter Jason. The film noir genre, which became a staple for movie fans during its heyday in the 140s & 150s, was based on a tough and gritty environment and revolved around those who lived in it. It was raw, without much margin for how things went down or who would end up surviving the fallout. Films stylized with elements of film noir have surfaced over the years and perhaps one of the best is the Mickey Spillane stories of Mike Hammer, which offered a more contemporary version of the format. Mike Hammer, Private Eye brings us to the late '90s. Stacy Keach plays the wiser, tougher, more sarcastic, and blunt-worded private eye who offers a salute to the early years with his felt fedora. A bevy of beautiful women still abound in his world, and over-the-top measures with the use of his fists, wits, and savvy tenacity against deceptive enemies are the norm. Still, there is a balance, with Keach managing his character that's both serious and, at times, more lighthearted with some campy humor. Rating: Not rated. 20231010. Closed-captioned.
