The Worst Detective in the World

So bad he has a actual Psychiatrist Office in his Police station who actually investigates crimes with him like he was his partner. No other cops in the station, not even a criminal, no one but him and the doctor with a Sherlock Holmes pipe and a gun.

The goober's girlfriend needs to take his job. She is the only reason they even had a suspect. The Hypnotist would not had needed to use the hypnotic eye on me to seduce me. Even after her friend gets disfigured he doesn't get a clue. Why didn't this guy notice the assistant was the same woman in the apartment? No investigation of the crime scene when the women set her hair on fire. If had looked he probably found Justine in the apartment somewhere.
Oh who cares this is on the the top of my movies so bad you love list.

Desmond's fingerprints were all over the door handle.
There was some cool stuff, those Desmond posters looked awesome, but there were too many long annoying stretches. Desmond yelling was super annoying.

To the Original Poster, you are great. GREAT!

My Review says the same thing, that the girl figures the stuff out and the guy is the WORST most inept lawman in film history.

Those scenes are so annoying as the cop who resembles Dennis Quaid, but not really, is sitting there trying to follow his girlfriend who has EVERYTHING pretty much figured out. Great that this is a post. Read my review below if you will:

And add to the list he gets a radio call there is a "jumper on the bridge". He replies to the dispatcher he is rolling, but this actually involves first driving his girlfriend around for a while and making out with her. Meanwhile that guy on the bridge is swaying and seeing his life flash in front of him.

We don't see Supercop ever arrive at the bridge but I expect if we had the scene would involve the fire department hosing the goo off the pavement. "To protect and serve" indeed.

To be fair, Justine only cracked the door to the girlfriend's apartment. The detective didn't see her whole face. And at least at some point, he thought to question the mutilation victims if they had attended Desmond's show.

The best scene for me was when the girlfriend goes back to the theatre walking past the Desmond posters in the alley. I'm kind of stunned that the co-writer of this went on to co-write more episodes of Mission: Impossible than anyone else.
