The Thursday Murder Club

Wonderful cast of the four friends in Dame Hellen Mirren, Sir Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie and Pierce Brosnan. Add Jonathan Pryce as Elizabeth's husband, David Tennant as tenant-evicting bad guy (see what they did there), Tom Ellis as hunky son ... The list could go on.

People who found this "too light" clearly don't share my sense of humour. In my view, it's the lightness and quirky characters' playful approach to a rather dark theme that makes the Thursday Murder Club so brilliant. They capture the spirit of the book quite nicely for a movie adaptation!

Having read all books so far, I know I will watch this movie again - and look forwards for more to come!

It was good with some good laughs, however I feel like this could have pushed the comedy a little further. Plus, despite being two hours long, it felt rather condensed in places and that time could have been spent building up more suspects. The suspect list was so short, that it wasn't very difficult to deduce who the killer was. This might have worked a little better as maybe a three part mini series, making it three hours long. That way they could really get further into the story with some background information and build a good suspect list. Nevertheless a decent watch. Hope there's a sequel.

It wasn't all that exciting and not necessarily clever, although not exactly unsurprising and it was a little too long but I loved watching this gang get up to all sorts of mischief without any serious consequences.

Not exactly Agatha Christie worthy, well not by far, but whoever assembled these people together deserves an award.

Also, somehow David Tennant does not look sleazy enough to pull off a Dolce & Gabbana tracksuit look. He can pull off a different kind of scumbag but not the slimy show-off type.

Tom Ellis' voice though... do you really expect me to believe that is the voice of a professional fighter? I mean he's got the look but... Let's just say he sounds too damn suave.

Excellent casting. Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie and Helen Mirren particularly so. In my opinion the movie was ten times better than the trailer made it out to be. It started well with the changes from the book not too excessive. The story continued on in a well paced manner with the twists well hidden. Ending in an acceptable manner leaving lovers of the books knowing that more equally good movies will follow on.

I laughed non stop at the antics of the cast it was so funny clever and classy The way there were no loose ends or plot holes really made it 100% enjoyable this was so great to watch as it was fun the best British actors brought a delightful light touch to this " classic mystery " !

And, IMO Pierce Brosnan stole the show he is such a great comic actor A sheer delight !
