Archie Bunker, Rockford and Kato try to update 1940s noir.

Full movie behind a paywall, alas.

One of the better movies, back when there didn't HAVE to be one gay couple, one racially mixed couple, 3 or more ethnicities represented, a strong anti-gun message (regardless of gun violence in the movie), and a minimum of 5 references to global warming.

This is basically a film version of The Rockford Files before that show ever aired. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the inspiration for the series.

It's "Rockfish" to those who know the show well.
