This movie was an highly anticipated one for me.
This movie starrs Harris Dickinson (“The Kings Man: The Beginning “), Reece Shearsmith (“Venom:Let There Be Carnage “), Adrien Brody (Netflix’s “Blonde”), Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (Netflix’s “The Queen’s Gambit”), just to name a few.
This movie was directed by Tom George
This movie was released on October 27th 2022.
This movie is a Comedy/Mystery. It was rated PG-13 for violence, bloody images and sexual content.
Onto the premise: In the West End of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and eager rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theater underground, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own peril.
I found this a really novel and almost throwback film with loads of great laughs and twists but never takes itself too seriously.
There is a really good cast with great characters, all bringing different things to the film. Having real life characters add something to the film as well.
I laughed a lot during the film with some of the characters and some of the jokes being very well done.
Its a reminder that there can be a great film made without the need for huge amounts of cgi, huge budgets and massive casts. This is just well written, well portrayed and with brilliant camera work, and just works really well.
I absolutely loved this movie, I go to the cinema way too much and I’d not heard as much laughter for quite a while, yeah some of the humour is silly and maybe a bit predictable if you can see the set ups but I’d say this was some of the best comedic timing since “Naked”.
Two awesome films set in old town London over the last year after the exceptional Last night in Soho. The setting, cars, just everything was good.
The acting was all good, chemistry was really good and fans of This is England get to see a reunion which was fun.
If you’re feeling a bit down or just fancy a lighthearted film which is an easy watch this is it.
Set in 1953, an Inspector (Sam Rockwell) sets out to solve the murder of an infamous film director (Adrian Brody) while forced to take an eager young Constable (Saorsie Ronan) under his wing.
A nice 50’s setting, it’s also a nice homage to Agatha Christie like murder mysteries. Also like the look at old Hollywood in London. Saorsie Ronan over eagerness plays well off of Sam Rockwell’s world weariness. A fun whodunit that keeps you guessing till the end, has a lot of twists. And the rest of the cast don’t disappoint either. If you are in the mood a fun murder mystery, we’ll if liked Knives Out, then I hope you’ll give See How They Run a look.
