I liked Thursday Murder Club.
Is it the greatest thing since sliced bread? No. I fully
blame director Chris Columbus for his less than serious direction which is way
less suspenseful as it should be.
The film is the story of a group of seniors (Helen Mirren Piece
Brosnan and Sir Ben Kinglsey) who spend their time trying to solve unsolved
murder cases. One of the owners of their home is murdered the group is thrown
into an active investigation. Along with a new resident who was a trauma nurse,
the pair work with a low-level cop to bring justice to the killer.
Feeling more like the pilot episode of a TV series, the film
is a great deal of fun thanks to the stellar cast. This will be a world you
want to revisit; I want a sequel.
Is this the greatest thing since sliced bread? No but it is
a great way to pass two hours until they make a sequel.
(A brief note: while the plot of the film is more or less
the plot of the source novel, apparently there is a change as to what happens
to one person which may complicate sequels)
