Neil, een zelfbenoemde film nerd en eigenaar van Gumshoe-video, is er altijd tevreden mee geweest om plaatsvervangend te leven in zijn favoriete films noir. Maar wanneer hij Violet ontmoet, een echte femme fatale, wordt zijn alledaagse wereld op zijn kop gezet en begint de grens tussen realiteit en film al snel te vervagen.
Nee, helaas is Watching the Detectives nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
