Forgettable
The film begins well enough but rapidly becomes quite boring. In spite of Saiorse Ronan's charm and the considerable talents of Adrien Brody, Sian Clifford, Ruth Wilson. Reece Shearsmith, Harris Dickinson and Tim Key, the production suffers because it clearly just doesn't know what it wants to be. It doesn't work as a whodunnit, a comedy or a drama. All one is left with are some quite nice shots and visual composition. The use of Agatha Christie and The Mousetrap feels rather pointless as it fails to add anything that any other fictional generic murder mystery could add. Dull, frustrating and ultimately unsatisfying, See How They Run really doesn't have a good enough reason to exist.
