IMDB

Kathleen Turner stars as the female private investigator VI Warshawski. She's a typical movie detective, but the twist is she's a woman. She hooks up with a hockey player, who brings his daughter for her to babysit. The hockey player turns up dead. Turner and the kid team up to find out who murdered him.
This is a pretty by the book (not that I read the novel) action movie, but it's fairly light on action. There's an explosion here, a quick fight there. Mostly it's Kathleen Turner babysitting a kid and making wise ass remarks. Not a very good movie, but it was at least well directed. That's the silver lining, I guess.

5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
