The Zero Effect / USA / 1998
No, that’s a W-2; a WW2 is a second world war.
Daryl Zero is a meticulous, reclusive genius, but what best characterizes him is a lack of common sense and social insecurity. He possesses a variety of fabricated forms of identification, and regularly dons wigs or faux mustaches to observe his clients, which he does with exemplary discretion—he’s the best private detective in the world. It’s only when someone approaches Daryl Zero outside of the pretense of investigation that he fails to implement even the most basic customs of human interaction.
The Zero Effect contains a mystery – a wealthy man who is blackmailed – but its principle concern is the mind of its central character. We are as intent to figure him out as we are the mystery. Zero will resolve everything in the end, and his success is laureled by no one.
