Jack Andrews
Created by John Dahl and David W.
Warfield
The sign says "Jack Andrews, Licensed Investigator, confidentiality Guaranteed, 1248 Dahl Av., Reno, Nevada." what it doesn't say is that JACK ANDREWS is a business degree major, and former insurance investigator on the skids following the death of his wife. Now he's a "half-assed Dick Tracy" private eye, with a "nice-guy complex," still in mourning, in hawk to the sharks who becomes involved with a femme fatale (played by Val Kilmer's real-life wife at the time) who hires him to help her fake her own death to escape the violent clutches of an abusive boyfriend (Vengeance Unlimited's Michael Madsen). Call this one Blood Simple Lite.
Some good ideas, but Mr. and Mrs. Kilmer are way out of their league on this one. The script calls for blood and juice and passion, and instead we get Ken and Barbie.
Kill Me Again, Jack's only appearance, was director John Dahl's first film. His next film, Red Rock West was a considerable improvement, and with his next, Last Seduction, he really hit his stride.
