No vocals just some music
To think Columbo the show was the basis for this. That is sad. I loved growing up with Columbo. The moves, mind play, word choices it was fun. I feel it made me a little bit to who i am now. However, this? Does not compare at all.
Story
Like most mysteries you have a dead body. Your task as a detective is figure out answers. The story here is confusing. One could say a story doesn't even exist here.
Art
What was the director's line of thinking? Pick up body, let it levitate magically. Slowly spin it around. Then do it again. I can vaguely understand the process because they are trying to show what the detectives are thinking in their mind since they can't really touch the body but still. Does not work with plot.
Sound
No vocals. Should have had a vocal story. There is no silent episodes (mute) of Columbo.
P.s. don't even get me started on the killer(s) or conclusion. This is a fill in the blanks mystery where you the viewer are stuck with the entire grunt work. Not a mystery but a mess.
