Summary

Period murder mystery starring Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan. In London's West End, 1953, The Mousetrap has reached its landmark 100th performance. Yet, when a Hollywood director arrives with plans to shoot an adaptation of the play, his grisly demise puts the celebrations on hold. It's up to the world-weary Inspector Stoppard and eager Constable Stalker to deduce the killer among the many suspects backstage.

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Patrick Cremona

This wickedly funny riff on the work of Agatha Christie unfolds against the backdrop of 1950s London, as The Mousetrap prepares to celebrate its landmark 100th performance. Adrien Brody stars as a big-shot Hollywood director who arrives in town with plans to turn the hit play into a movie, only for a series of murders to spoil those ambitions. Aided by excellent comic direction from This Country's Tom George (who uses split screen to especially good effect) and a zippy score from Daniel Pemberton, the film affectionately sends up whodunnit tropes while serving as a compelling and riotously entertaining murder mystery in its own right. The ensemble cast is terrific across the board, but Saoirse Ronan is particularly good value as a cinephile copper who can't help jumping to conclusions, while there are also fun turns from Harris Dickinson as a young Richard Attenborough and David Oyelowo as a stuck-up playwright. The script remains sharp throughout and, crucially, the final reveal will leave audiences very satisfied.
