See How They Run Review: It's So Much More Than A British Knives Out

Admin

See how they play, the film, like the mystery, jumps out at you. It's shown in trailers and posters as a classic British comedy unit - the cast and creators are certainly cut off from that stuff.

But like the mystery behind the story, you see how they work is more than a British knife. Yes, it's elegant, yes, it's funny, but director Tom George (This Country) and screenwriter Mark Chappell have created a surprisingly touching metafilm about what it means to tell a story.

In just over an hour and a half, see how they waste no time polishing their tricks, narrated by Adrien Brody's Leo Copernicus, the unlikely Hollywood director tasked with making a theatrical version of Agatha's The Mouthtrap Christie, a 100th anniversary film to be converted.

But if he is killed, a key will be dropped.

It's exactly what you'd expect from Brothers, and exactly what Copernicus told us: a world-weary detective (Sam Rockwell as Inspector Stoppard) and his clever assistant (Saoirse Ronan as Agent Stalker) charged to stalk everyone to dispel his suspicions. .. There are intentions and secrets.

Add a bunch of unexpected twists and you have all the ingredients for a perfect genre film.

The best part of watching a race is knowing. He knows what they expect and offer, but he undermines it by playing on the intelligence and pathos of the audience.

More importantly, watch them run and it's fun as hell. We had a chance to watch it twice before writing this review and people were blown away and delighted by both reviews.

From a thoroughly drunk Rockwell to Paul Chahidi's Buster Keaton-inspired stunts, the film offers plenty of physical comedy, but the storyline is equally hilarious, from Ronan's perfectly placed lines to confident laughs. .

Every actor is cast to perfection and every role is expertly played, evoking 1950s glamor and striking a fine balance between slapstick humor and British flair. This gorgeous cast is nearly impossible to spot and there is no weak link or moment.

David Wello also shines as screenwriter Marvin Coker-Norris with his exaggerated, genre-appropriate eyes and soundtrack, think Cade Copernicus and Harris Dickinson (The King's Man) as Dickie Attenborough (yes, yes, that Dickie Attenborough).

The list is literally long: Ruth Wilson (The Dark Materials), Sian Clifford (Fleabag), Rhys Shearsmith (Inside No. 9), Shirley Henderson (Harry Potter), Charlie Cooper (This Country), Pippa Bennett-Warner (Gangs of London), Paul Chahidi (This Country), Lucian Mamati (Gangs of London) and Tim Key (Death in Paradise).

To top it all off - because this movie is best seen intact and again - we're not suggesting that the killer was ultimately caught and how it happened.

In the end, that's not the most important part of the film: seeing them run like perfect individuals shows that the journey is just as exciting as the destination.

Watch it film in UK cinemas on September 9 and in US cinemas on September 16.
