I initially ran onto "Detective Story" over 10 years ago when it was first released online, and from my first view, I was captivated by it. The low-key, film-noir sense, images as simple and beautiful as the falling snow, plus the wonderful, dark soundtrack provided a strong backdrop to the story of Ash, the unaware detective, being used by the system, supposedly to clean house ... only Ash has more integrity than his cybernetic overseers have anticipated.
I honestly wish Ash could have been liberated. He would have been a better-than-average asset in the war against the machines ... and who knows? Maybe he did find his way out.
