There are small laughs to be found, largely coming from Ronan, but it just isn't enough. Silly - it needed to be more like say 'Murder by Death', but crucially the humour in the script is far too often just not there.

What really spoils here is that the film isn't silly or indeed funny enough to pull its intentions off. The down side is firstly, that the whodunnit element is pretty predictable and frankly rather meh, although in many respects this doesn't really matter. Everyone in this is great fun, particularly Brodie as the victim, forever returning in flashbacks and Rockwell, sort of Sam Spade-ish, but it is Roman who is genuinely a real comedy find and rather walks away with this.

It would be nice to say that this works, but sadly the negatives rather outweigh the plus points.

This is a great idea, taking the cliches from a classic staged whodunnit and applying them to the whodunnit investigation that Rockwell and Ronan are undertaking.

Seasoned Detective Inspector Sam Rockwell and new PC Saoirse Ronan are on the case. Awesome! Whilst I give it a 10 I don't mean every aspect is perfect! But that feeling when you leave and are still smiling! That's what this gives.Īt a party to celebrate the 100th performance of Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap, the director of the planned film version is murdered. If you're feeling a bit down or just fancy a lighthearted film which is an easy watch this is it. There was a surname joke that took me back to airplane! And an arrest straight from naked gun! I just loved it. It was tonally perfect and just innocent spoof kinda humour. It wasn't overbearing, it didn't take away from scenes. Thinking back it actually felt like she was given 90% of the comedy whilst others had small moments she was the one who delivered. So unbelievably likeable and endearing it was a great performance. However I feel the difference between a 7/8 or a 10 is all down to one person Saoirse Ronan (sorry if it's misspelled) she was so good, her face, she played daft so well, you didn't think of her as stupid, more naive and innocent, she had some lines in this film which genuinely broke some people in the audience. The acting was all good, chemistry was really good and fans of This is England get to see a reunion which was fun. The setting, cars, just everything was good.

As the backstage hysteria reaches a fever pitch, the show goes on with real-life radio-era pros such as George Burns and Rosemary Clooney.

On the night that the Chicago station goes live on the air, a mysterious voice interrupts, and a series of murders soon follows, each one described by the same sonorous phantom. In 1939, Penny Henderson ( Mary Stuart Masterson) is the harried general secretary and de facto manager of a new fourth radio network, WBN.
