Reaction: This one just really didn't find an audience - especially overseas. Not only do comedies tend to travel poorly, but the leading cast of the film is full of relative unknowns on the global scale.
"Frankly, Detective James just doesn't feel like a big screen release. The leads, the story, the direction - all feel more like something you'd find in the bowels of Netflix rather than in a movie theater." - Ben Fullmer, Knoxville News Sentinel
"I honestly don't know if I would call that a movie. Perhaps a long short film. Some of the characters are amusing, and Fillion is used well to-type as delusional and egotistical, but there's just not enough story here for a full film." - Joseph Thornton, Mercury News
"Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk have great comedic chemistry with each other. The scenes away from them struggle mightily, but livens back up whenever their banter begins." - Glenn Howard, Total Film
