About olives. You have to give to the Longstreth\u2019s for taking such a ridiculous concept and adding a sense of menace, and utter confusion to it. It\u2019s not often you see a crime mystery that revolves around gardening. Well, there\u2019s \u201cThe Godfather,\u201d but you get the picture.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Harvey Daggit is a top detective who, along with his partner Monica Cruise, is interrogating a suspect who has a connection with a string of murders that tie in with a man named \u201cThe Harvester.\u201d Doing his best impression of a tough talking gum shoe, Larry Longstreth is utterly zany as Harvey, a man whose methods of interrogation are borderline eccentric. After furious interrogations with a man named \u201cThe Rat,\u201d he leads them to the home of the vicious killer \u201cThe Harvester,\u201d who kills people and buries their bodies under his olive tree to create possibly some of the best olives ever made.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">When Harvey raids the home, he learns the hard way, and that these olives are worth killing for. \u201cHarvey Daggit\u201d is probably the best directed film from the Bullcrank crew, with one of the better closing shots I\u2019ve seen in their film gallery. With a light tint of green, the Longstreth brothers close their film on a sick, and rather funny note. Good performances, and very good direction make &#8220;Harvey Daggit,&#8221; yet another very funny film from the Longstreth brothers, with an unusual plot device that results in a grim yet pleasing climax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing about comedy is that there are so many different dimensions of the art form to explore, and it takes a lot of time and patience to discover what\u2019s right and what doesn\u2019t work. \u201cHarvey Daggit\u201d is a new approach from directors Larry and Aaron Longstreth, more of a dark and demented comedy.
