It looks like a mash-up of Wes Anderson and the Coen Brothers and plays like a British drawing room farce, and when you add it all together, you get a delightful drole whodunnit about the murder of a Hollywood director (Adrien Brody) in line to direct the film version of Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mousetrap’. Have no fear, though, Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) are on the case. It’s as dry as sandpaper and quietly hilarious.
4/5 stars
