Movie Haiku:Nicholson plays a cop who retires with nothing to look forward to except fishing. To find a purpose for his life, he becomes obsessed with one "final" case. His detective work moves uneasily between genius & madness. Cinematographer Chris Menges' washed out palette for depressed working class Nevada perfectly frames the plot.
