3.8 stars
Oh, this is hard for me. On one hand Harry Starke is not what I expected.
I thought it's going to be dark or action detective thriller but nope...it's just a detective plus some comedic vibe. Harry Starke did not do the investigation much, in my opinion, mostly it's his team. Yes, he did go out asking question but ended up getting laid (sigh). He has rich and influential dad who can help him in many way. But as much as I'm disappointed (for not getting a dark gruesome case) I have to admit that overall he did entertain me. So, 3.8 stars.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
