![]() ![]() The Big Comic Page was provided a copy of See How They Run for this review.Īdditional comments: Bonus features included were a 25-minute behind the scenes look at the movie. See How They Run is available on streaming now, and will be released on 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD in December 19, 2022. And in some ways, See How They Run is that movie, while at the same time delivering a smarter, comedic murder mystery. ![]() Some may find the movie’s wit and pacing bland and boring, but I wonder if they’re looking for the film Leo Kopernick wanted to make. Stoppard’s blue, mini car pops in a simple overhead shot as it drive down the dreary streets of London. Cinematographer Jamie Ramsay does a fantastic job framing every moment in this movie. The quirky characters, costumes, set designs, and dry wit are all reminiscent of a Wes Anderson film in the best ways. We get a glimpse of the challenges Mervyn deals with when Leo proposes a bombastic ending to the grounded mystery. Mervyn Cocker-Norris (David Oyelowo) is the energetic writer who feels confounded by the director’s demands to rewrite the script with more deaths and explosions. Yet despite the familiar ground, See How They Run treads new ground by tackling the woes of adapting a classic work of art into a movie for the masses. The tropes are all here: the unsympathetic victim, the world-weary detective, and the cast of characters who all have a motive, etc. Chappell and George deliver a movie with both humor and flair. One of the best things about pledge managers, is the ability to modify your 1 Kickstarter pledge. I honestly can’t think of another meta movie in the murder mystery genre. Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) are sent in to investigate and catch the killer before any more cast members are killed off. However, the movie’s production stops as quickly as it started when the movie director Leo Kopernick (Adrien Brody) is killed at the afterparty. This achievement is also celebrated by the movie studio since it means they can begin production on the movie adaptation. Set in the West End of 1950s London, the cast of Mousetrap wraps their 100th show. And director Tom George and writer Mark Chappell do exactly that in See How They Run. When done correctly, these commentaries remind audiences why the genre is so great while also allowing the movie to subvert expectations. I’m a sucker for meta movies such as Scream, The Final Girls, and Deadpool. ![]()
