Logan
Echolls, Veronica’s ex-boyfriend has been charged with murder and he calls her for help. She’s just interviewed with a top New
York law firm and she wants to put her detective past behind her. She agrees to head back to her hometown
of Neptune to help Logan find a good lawyer. Veronica doesn’t like the way his case is being handled and
she finds herself pulled back into her old life.
This
film is a takeoff on the Veronica Mars television series from 2004 to 2007. There is a particular fan base and
audience for this series with pop music, widescreen color-noir photography,
smart phones, texting, video streaming and sharply defined characters. Unfortunately, I guess I am not part of
this fan base? I thought the movie
was poorly acted, boring, a frenzy of double and triple crossing. 2* (I didn’t like this movie)
