See How They Run

This is one of those films that people have rubbished purely because it's primary purpose is to entertain. And that's a great shame, because in these troubled times that's perhaps exactly what people want. A good night out at the cinema.

Saoirse Ronan again proves what a huge career she could go on to have, this time adding light comedy to her range of skills, in this murder mystery caper.

These are ten a penny right now, both on the big and small screen, but 'See How They Run' manages to find its own style, with some clever tricks up its sleeve throughout.

There are lots of big or recognisable faces dotted throughout this fun film, but the stand-outs are Ronan and Sam Rockwell as her superior. I'd actually be happy if this led to another outing for the pair.

Overall, good fun.

A murder-mystery with Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan as the investigators. Who could resist such a premise? Not me. Since watching it I've heard it described as a very 'Wes Anderson' type film. I'm glad I didn't hear that before going in because I can't stand Anderson's films. I did quite enjoy this one though, so it would've been a false warning.

The chemistry between Ronan and Rockwell is what sells this. They nail it. I could watch these two on screen for a hundred more movies. The humour in the film is very clever. It may not make you laugh out loud all too often, but it will certainly bring a smile to your face.

The actual whodunit mystery itself is good, without being mind-blowing. It suffices in keeping the audience interested and curious while also giving the lead characters plenty of room to do their thing. This was a good one. 7/10.

This movie had a great potential to be a better one.

It was exciting in the beginning and it kept me entertained as it progressed, till some events happened that were strongly related to the plot and did not make any sense to me. That was disappointing in addition to the movie's ending.

The acting of the main characters was not perfect but was not bad either. There was a lot of sarcastic comedy some throughout the movie of which made me laugh.

I am sad that my rating had to drop from 7 to 6 as I liked the movie but I wish if it was executed in a better way.

After all, it was a fun experience and I do not regret watching it. If you are looking for a silly movie with a mystery to solve, watch it.

I found this a really novel and almost throwback film with loads of great laughs and twists but never takes itself too seriously.

There is a really good cast with great characters, all bringing different things to the film. Having real life characters add something to the film as well.

I laughed a lot during the film with some of the characters and some of the jokes being very well done.

Its a reminder that there can be a great film made without the need for huge amounts of cgi, huge budgets and massive casts. This is just well written, well portrayed and with brilliant camera work, and just works really well.

It doesn't pretend to be high art. It's silly and enjoyable and was the equivalent of enjoying a good piece of cake - pleasurable but soon forgotten.

The performances are good and we loved the butler at the end. We could even guess some of the lines and also the ending, but it didn't matter. Yes, there were Wes Anderson type moments and yes, the make up and hair was wrong for the the period for Saoirse Ronan, and there was an absence of smoke in the pub etc it's supposed to be 1950s England... but I guess it was going for theatrical rather than realism.

If you want an easy going film that makes you laugh and smile - this is the film. (And so much better than the remakes of Agatha Christie)
