Late one night LA private investigator Ned Cruz gets a visit from a recently paroled Russian boxer with an intriguing job offer: find his missing girlfriend Lexie - and the $30-million stash of diamonds she's hiding. Cruz accepts. Clues lead him into the underbelly of the city where he meets a Hollywood action star with a dirty little secret an enterprising porn producer who takes a personal interest in his own work and a kinky waitress with an unusual fetish for particle physics. Lexie proves to be as elusive as she is beautiful and Cruz becomes obsessed with finding her. Tailed by a trio of cops and with the body count piling up he discovers a trail leading to a reclusive billionaire who's intent on recreating The Big Bang underneath the New Mexico desert. Hot diamonds dirty cops and a girl to die for. (Anchor Bay)

The Big Bang is a hallucinogenic thriller hybrid with the strong stench of a B-movie. And I don’t mean just the
illumination as from a TV hustler film from the 1980s or awkward camera angles, but also the selection of certain actors
and the portrayal of their characters. Had it not been for some of Antonio Banderas’ catchphrases and the frantic plot
development in the last third, which arouses the audience’s interest in how it will all turn out, the result would have
been truly tragic. To base such a cheap-looking film on sophisticated flashback narration of a story full of questions is
hara-kiri in itself.
