Richard Dreyfuss is Moses Wine, a wisecracking ex-activist private eye who smokes too much pot, brings his kids along on stakeouts, and ridicules his Berkeley buddies who are still working for “the cause.” But that all changes when an old flame brings him in on a special assignment tied to the upcoming California gubernatorial election. This lapsed activist and would-be Marxist gumshoe falls down a rabbit hole of campaign subterfuge, propaganda, and covert terrorism to solve the mystery of a lifetime. The Big Fix is both a wily thriller and Baby Boomer elegy that’s levied by Dreyfuss’ trademark schmaltz and features memorable cameos from John Lithgow, F. Murray Abraham, and New Bev favorite Larry Bishop.
