Just Ask for Diamond

About This Movie

Just Ask for Diamond is a quirky little gem from '88 that blends crime and family dynamics with a comedic twist. You've got these two brothers, Nick and Herbert, who run a detective agency, and it’s above a Tube station, which just adds to that charming London vibe. The plot dives into their misadventures when they stumble upon some Maltesers connected to a criminal mastermind. The pacing is a bit all over the place, but in a way that keeps you guessing. The performances are amusingly earnest, especially from the younger cast. What makes it distinctive? That playful tone, mixed with a hint of absurdity, really gives it character. Plus, it’s not often you see a detective story aimed at a younger audience that doesn’t condescend. Definitely has a unique flavor.
