"Manhattan Nocturne", based on a book by Colin someone-needs-to-examine-his-head Harrison, is bonkers but because this is Manhattan where Leonardo Di Caprio rides the elevator and Jessica Chastain eats across from you in a restaurant, and because everyone is filthy rich and mad as hatters, the noir mystery about a modern-day gumshoe reporter investigating the death of a sadistic game-playing film director, works just enough to be an enjoyable, ludicrous, pulpy ride.
