"Zero Effect" (1997).  Saw it way back when, remembered absolutely nothing about it, although my recollection is that I enjoyed it.  Kinda different.  Bill Pullman plays a brilliant detective but very flawed human.  Ben Stiller is his assistant.  This is not a comedy.  Ryan O'Neal is the client, Kim Dickens becomes a person of interest in the case (blackmail).  It's slow, my attention lagged at times, yet there is some nuance and intrigue to it.  A bit noirish.  It was filmed in and around Portland, OR.  I have to tell ya, I was pretty darn happy when there was a scene near the end filmed at Vista House at Crown Point, a very cool local landmark.  East of Portland, a stone observatory perched on an outcrop nearly 1000 feet above the Columbia River, on the old scenic highway (pre-I-84).  Don't think I've ever seen it in a movie before.  Well I did see this movie more than 20 years ago probably and apparently forgot about that detail.
