See How They Run
Film Synopsis:
Welcome to the greatest murder ever staged! It is the West End of London in the 1950s, and plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play have come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and his eager rookie sidekick, Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan), take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theatre underground. The more they investigate the mysterious homicide, the more they realize that they do so at their own peril.
Review:
I love whodunnits and Agatha Christie. And the play within the film is an Agatha Christie’s Mousetrap. Add the brilliantly funny Sam Rockwell, and I knew I had to see this movie. With loads of quirky characters and dazzling cinematography, it’s a lot of fun to watch. The story itself is fairly unremarkable but has a few fun twists. And the final showdown has plenty of suspense and humor. The director Tom George and the talented actors took what could have been a dull film and made it campy and highly entertaining.
See How They Run is available now in theaters, for rent, and streaming on HBOMAX.
