Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Zero Effect follows private investigator Daryl Zero and Steve Arlo, his reluctant representative, through one particularly tangled case involving blackmail, murder, revenge, and a set of lost keys. Zero is the world's best private investigator, suave and totally in control while on a case, but socially inept when off the job. The diversely talented and prolific Bill Pullman is excellently cast as Zero, switching seamlessly from one persona to the next, and the ever-charming Ben Stiller is his perfect sidekick. In a deadpan description of his method, or the "Zero Effect," Zero details his brilliance for Sherlock Holmes-like deductions, based on his strict adherence to objectivity and observation, or, in Zero parlance, "the obs." Somewhat predictably the obs falter when the case of the missing keys brings Zero to Gloria Sullivan, a winsome and mysterious paramedic played by Kim Dickens. Thankfully, writer-director Jake Kasdan is no less brilliant than the Zero he creates, and the potential corniness of the developing romance is balanced by a razor-sharp wit and the nail-biting suspense of the unfolding plot. --Laska Jimsen

The ideas here are very clever. But this turns out to be more of a "tell the audience what's going on" movie than show them. People talk about what they're going to do, what they've done, what they're doing. There's a lot of talk and little action. For some kinds of movies, that's fine. But for this kind of movie it just doesn't seem to quite work. Of course you can consider this to be a very offbeat detective story, which is what it is, true. But the characters are just not involving enough to counterbalance ... Read More

IIRC, this film only saw limited release in art house theatres for a few weeks in 1998. This was probably the best film of 1998, and it is surely one of the best films you've never heard of. It succeeds as a slapstick Ben Stiller comedy, a serious drama, and most of all, an intriguing Sherlock Holmes style mystery. All the performances are great, Ben Stiller as a long suffering legal investigator for the criminally underrated Bill Pullman's master PI, Daryl Zero, Kim Dickens as the mysterious "woman in trouble", ...

THE first film from Jake Kasdan, the son of famed director Lawrence Kasdan (Pacific Heights, The Big Chill), is a detective comedy that works off a premise so obvious it's surprising it hasn't been exploited more often.
Zero Effect steals the Sherlock Holmes mystery formula and places it into a contemporary context. The problem with Kasdan's film is that it doesn't get much beyond this modestly clever idea. Mixing excessive plot intricacies and broad, quirky comedy, the film ends up as a mildly puzzling ... Read More

If Sherlock Holmes were alive today he would be a major pain in the neck. That seems to be the central message of Jake Kasdan's first film, which is among my favourite movies of all time.
Bill Pullman plays Daryl Zero, the greatest private detective who ever lived, who also happens to be completely hopeless when it comes to relating to other human beings, in particular to his long-suffering assistant, Steve Arlo (Ben Stiller). However, when he is hired to find a blackmailer, he comes into contact with and ... Read More

It is exciting at times and original. Although somewhat unbelievable for someone that know the limits of memory and technology it still is convincing to those who can suspend belief a little.
I loved it and was waiting for every twist and turn!
