See How They Run


A backstage murder in London's West End threatens to close down the production of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap. The film is set in 1953 and that play is still running today so we know this story is, well, a farce.

If a movie where a character who's referred to by their last name, Choo, is followed by "bless you," whenever mentioned is your cup of tea, this one's for you.

Stylish, silly, and self-aware, See How They Run never lives up to its potential, but its winning cast makes it of the best streaming choices for a Friday night this month.

Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell), Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) and Leo Köpernick (Adrian Brody) are clearly having fun and it's contagious.

In a nutshell: At one and a half hours, it's the perfect choice when you're not up for a 3-hour action movie, heavy drama or contrived rom-com.

Where to find it:
Streaming on HBO Max

Award potential: Despite its cast, no serious award potential except for comedy categories in the Golden Globes.

The Ten Buck Review: Worth ten bucks.
