Someone's Missing...
Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) Angel Heart (1988)
Oh Mickey, you were so fine, you were so fine, you blew our minds… by sleeping with that girl from the Cosby Show. Who, uh, turned out to be your daughter.
Annoyingly, the missing person Harry Angel is hired to find turns out to be himself, and it takes intervention from De Niro's Devil to help him find himself when he's right there in the room all the time. Rubbish.

Found in record time by...
Patrick Kensie (Casey Affleck) Gone Baby Gone (2007)
Kensie is a working-class PI from a poor part of Boston, and with his partner/girlfriend Angie Gennaro, is hired to find a missing 4-year-old girl.
With license to manoeuvre where cops fear to go, the pair find the girl, swiped by a well-off middle-class ex-cop.
It causes a rift in the pair's relationship because Patrick decides to do the right thing, and give the girl back to her drug-using lowlife mum.

How about the Asian stand off? In one corner, Tequilla, has the ability to jump through the air and fire guns, carry multiple babies in a shoot-out but can't help but fall in love with the "bad-guy." out-done by Det. Jojima from Takeshi Miike's Dead or Alive, not only does he track down yakuza and triads, he seems unfazed by all the weird s**t miike sends his way (which is saying something)...plus he never loves the bad-guy, infact he blows him up (along with japan) with a bionic arm!
