What they share

Both films are directed by Renny Harlin, and they both carry the cozy, late night mood tags, and they sit in Action / Comedy / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Skiptrace, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Adventures of Ford Fairlane is

Hollywood. Christmas. A ringing telephone. Ford Fairlane, rock-and-roll detective, finds his swaggering world upended by two deaths. One, a stadium-showman's on-stage collapse. The other, a shock-jock's on-air electrocution just after hiring him. Renny Harlin's hyper-stylized action-comedy is a time-capsule of late 80s excess.
