Even Armstrong Looks Bored What homicide detective goes to work every day looking like she has a hot dinner date? The spikey heels, tight skirts, half-buttoned blouse and salon coiff suggest that Armstrong was auditioning for a completely different film. She looks so disinterested and bored like she can't wait to get back to a posh cocktail party in Chelsea. Every once in awhile she casually mentions her hatred of men but with the same blank expression she wears while questioning witnesses. For some reason, young cops can't wait to jump her bones even though she's twice their age. She won't even get undressed when they do, presumably so she doesn't give up the game.
The guy responsible for writing and directing this mess even quotes Margaret Atwood's infamous line about women being afraid men will kill them. Well yes, serial killers are known for that, but oddly enough, this guy's wife harbors no such fear. Quite the contrary. The cop calls her stupid (she's working class, y'know) but the guy is such a milquetoast around the wife, who can blame her? He's also a lousy killer, making mistakes so stupid you assume he must have done it on purpose as a joke.
From what I've read here, it only get worse later on, so try something better like Marcella or Dark on Netflix.
