Backscratcher in: The Case of the Missing Face

About This Movie

So, 'Backscratcher in: The Case of the Missing Face' has this quirky tone that blends comedy and crime really well. The pacing feels a bit fast at times, but that’s part of its charm. Scratch Baxter, played by an unknown actor with a knack for deadpan humor, dives into a case that’s both absurd and oddly relatable—like, who hasn’t felt their identity is a bit out of whack? The practical effects used for some of the gags are surprisingly well done, adding a tangible feel to the otherwise zany plot. And then there's Barry Solvit, the city cop who's just bursting with confidence. Their dynamic is where the film shines, as Baxter tries to keep up but also finds his own groove. It's a fun watch, really.
