While I liked the characters in this movie (except Conte's Mayo, who seemed to old for his role), it was pretty lightweight and had tons of holes. For example, during Norah's first meeting with Mayo, she pretends it's her friend who committed the murder. At first, he keeps slipping and assuming it was really her, then suddenly seems to be buying it completely with no explanation. The worst was how easily the real murderess was found. Mayo and Haynes walk into the record store and ask to see the clerk. She immediately goes into the bathroom and attempts suicide, then confesses all.
