Cruzeiro do Mistério

If you enjoy murder mysteries, you'll enjoy this movie. It does tend to move at a slow pace at times, as well as jump around to numerous characters. It's hard to keep track of what's going on or who people are, unless you pay attention. Especially since the characters are actually playing characters within the game. Lol This movie felt like it should've been a mini series instead. I think it would've worked a lot better and allowed the audience to better know the characters. Plus, we would've been able to see more mysteries solved by the best friend duo.

Well I have to say this was not as good as I had hoped it would be but I did watch it all the way through and never thought i regretted this. you deside , watch or not. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/21/2021

The book probably offered the bones that made this filmable. The D. P. did good work in tight spaces with limited lighting options. Director might not have decided if this was a farce or something else. For me what was most needed and not provided was a dialogue coach. Unless the intent was to be over the top farcical. But that would not explain the opening scene where no one was playing a mystery character.

There was a lot of eye rolling by the cast and surely more by viewers if they paid attention to the accents and acting.

Really remarkable boat though. With a name that makes sense given its location.

It starts off with two women, Regan and Alvirah arguing about going into a detective business right from the beginning before you even know who they are. They are both friends and will be going on a a Mystery Cruise.

The main characters are "detectives" Regan and Alvirah. Regan is the daughter of the author of mystery books which is sponsoring this cruise which involves a staged murder that the passengers must solve.

The story is confusing. You don't know who the characters are and what their role is accept they are passengers interested in solving a mystery. There are romantic scenes between who knows.

They talk among each other but the scenes change to other characters before I could understand what was going on. The characters all talk fast and discuss past mysteries and the murder on the Mystery Cruise.

In the process of this cruise a female passenger really tries to kill her husband a number of times.

The two women detectives plot to catch the wife that wants to kill her husband after seeing her trying a couple of times. The husband has no idea his wife of 5 years has been trying to kill him.

I think this was a pilot episode. It is nothing like other detective series like Murder She Wrote, Miss Marple or more. The way the story is written stinks.

Too many characters, most unknown and what their role is. It has some good qualities a little humor no swearing or sex.

This was a total disappointment from the book. Alvirah Meehan is a 60 year old woman who spent most of her life working as a cleaning lady, not some 25 year old married to a 60 year old. The book and characters was definitely not the same as the movies and thus a GREAT disappointment. If you can't stick closely to the book, don't make the movie.
