Nikki e Nora: Gêmeas em Ação

7.6 stars.

Not bad at all if I do say so myself. Where this film lacks in the spit and polish it makes up for with sassiness and spunk. Twin girls (fraternal) now in their twenties have been on their own for years. Their parents are long dead and we are not told how or exactly when. Nikki left Chicago years ago and became a traveler and a grifter of sorts. She returned a few months ago, but doesn't pay rent and has had many odd jobs. In spite of her reputation as an adventurer with no money that to speak of, she still retains the glam and the bling a young woman craves. Nora, 8 minutes older, is a lawyer and a very good one. She stayed in Chicago all these years and never fully recovered from being abandoned by Nikki after their parents died. They discover they've inherited a private detective practice and the legacy of a man who knew their parents well. They somehow make nice with each other after all these years of estrangement and solve a murder by breaking rules and cutting corners. Suffice it to say the police department isn't exactly delighted by their antics.

This film has a ton of potential to become a series, and I'm sure it's in the works. The girls are gorgeous, gritty, and fun. There is no romance, in fact it's anti-romance, and you'll see what I mean if you stick with it until the end. I think this needs a pinch of passion, don't pull a "Mystery 101" where there is only a hint of romance that never comes to fruition, and when it sort of does, we are left with an indefinite cliffhanger.

I highly recommend this first installment of what I'm sure will be many more to come. Hallmark rarely disappoints with their family friendly mysteries.

This new Hallmark mystery took me by surprise, I enjoyed it. I liked the storyline brewing between the twins, the animosity between Nora and Detective Sanchez, and the friendship between Nora and police officer Robby Watts. I do hope there will be more of Nikki and Nora...but while being happy with the whodunnit, I will miss a particular character moving forward, assuming there is more. I hope we will eventually discover why the private investigator left his business to both Nikki and Nora.

Nikki added the lighter aspects to this mystery series with her understudy to the understudy acting jobs. Nora brought the more serious side as the established lawyer whose boss is thought to have committed suicide. Not trusting the detective on the case who wraps up the suicide quickly, Nora teams up with her sister to get to the bottom of what really happened.

The dynamics in this series were great and I can't wait to see more. As mentioned, I thought Madison Smith was a real highlight of the show and his on screen chemistry with Rhiannon Fish was wonderful. This is a recommendation for hallmark mystery fans, I think you will love it.

I enjoyed this entry into the Hallmark mysteries series.

Nikki (Hunter King) is an actress with money problems, and her sister Nora (Rhiannon Fish) is an attorney. They are fraternal twins.

They inherit a detective agency from someone who knew their parents. After not speaking for some time, they come together to find the killer of Nora's boss.

The two young women worked well together and have good chemistry. It wasn't the strongest story, but it had a nice twist. It was also directed at a nice pace.

I certainly liked this better than that horrible Crime Time. Hunter King's character is funny, and the women work well together.

I don't expect a lot from a Hallmark mystery, but this was a pretty good one overall. I was a little generous with the rating, giving it a bit of a bump for being unexpectedly fun.

The actresses who play the sisters are great. The ditzy sister might have been a bit too ditzy at the beginning and the serious one too serious, but a few scenes in and that evened out. The actresses are also very believable as sisters.

Overall the story has the usual red herrings, which weren't too overplayed (which is a nice change) and actually contributed to the overall story, since usually they are just dead ends.

I think to put it another way, I really hope this does well, because it would be a lot of fun to see a series of these movies, akin to Hallmarks other winners.

I know a lot of people didn't care for this title, thinking it boring, or whatever; but my family and I quite enjoyed it. Nikki and Nora were fun sleuths, sisters and their relationship was pretty believable. The girl who played Nikki (sorry, I didn't look at the actresses names) did an excellent job portraying a fun and quirky character and I liked her a lot. The girl playing Nora likewise did a fabulous job as the more down to earth sister who still got sucked into the mystery and solving it. I thought the chemistry between actors was there and they each played their respective parts well. I love the overarching theme of their parents' deaths, but please don't blow it with this one and never take that story anywhere, Hallmark. I ended up liking all the characters and actually felt empathy at the end, which doesn't usually happen. The ending was a bit of a surprising twist that most viewers might not see coming. This movie was very clean: no woke agenda, no swearing, though there was a shot of the "body" after the fact. I'd like to give all the actors a round of applause for their performances. I hope Hallmark keeps to this formula and makes more of these. Nikki and Nora might actually get my vote for my favorite Hallmark sleuths since Hallmark started movies and mysteries. In fact, the only one they can't top is McBride, IMO. Can't wait for the second installment.
