Summary of Night Moves
Gene Hackman is perfect as Harry Moseby, a second-rate gumshoe working on low-end cases while trying to straighten out his own muddled life. When he is contacted by a mother looking for her young movie-actress daughter, Harry supposes it is just another dull case. He finds the girl and brings her home with little trouble. But soon Harry learns of the girl's death shortly after her return. He discovers the death of one of her boyfriends as well and, connecting the two "accidents," tries to unravel an ever-growing mystery. Night Moves is a film-noir-style detective story that is moody, gritty, and unpredictable to the very end.
