Film - See How They Run

At last, some escapist fun. A film where I don’t need to think about anything other than whodunnit.

The film is centred around the long-running Mouse Trap play. Plans are afoot to make a film version, that is until one of the filmmakers is murdered. Inspector Stoppard  (Sam Rockwell) is less motivated than his appointed partner, rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) as they enter the glamorous theatre world. It’s great to see an enthusiastic and ambitious female sidekick in the 1950s, energetically jumping to conclusions at every discovery.

As silly and funny as a whodunnit should be and a world away from the unentertaining Death on the Nile earlier in the year
