Plot: Emily Watson is Trixie, a detective with a tendency to mangle every sentence that comes out of her mouth. In fact, the only crime she can't solve is her murder of the English language. Director Alan Rudolph spins a wholly unpredictable comedic whodunit filled with more twists and turns than a spiral staircase. Nick Nolte enthralls as a crooked, philandering senator who may know more than he lets on.

quote:
Alan Rudolph directed and co-wrote this eccentric comedy about a woman who bumbles her way into fighting crime. Trixie Zurbo (Emily Watson) is a well-meaning but scatter-brained casino security guard, who dreams of a career as a private detective. Her ambition accidentally becomes reality when she's thrown into the middle of a series of events involving double-dealing state senator Avery (Nick Nolte), crooked real estate developer Red Rafferty (Will Patton), and his sleazy girlfriend Dawn Slotnick (Lesley Ann Warren). Along the way, Trixie finds romance with the suave Dex Lang (Dermot Mulroney). Nathan Lane appears in a supporting role as Kirk Stans, a flamboyant lounge singer. Trixie had its world premiere at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
