In the West End of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered.
""If you've seen one, you've seen them all," says a character at the beginning of this whodunit (a detective story subgenre focused on uncovering the identity of the killer, made popular by Agatha Christie), and the statement largely applies to 'See How They Run', a crime novel that sets out to deconstruct one of the most famous stories of the genre, Agatha Christie's play 'The Mousetrap'. The story revolves around the murder of a filmmaker (Adrien Brody), who had plans to adapt the play into a movie in 1953. As such, the story is predictable, despite poking fun at the predictability of other similar stories. However, it is very enjoyable thanks to its cast, with a standout Sam Rockwell as an apathetic detective, and a hilarious Saoirse Ronan as a gullible and bumbling agent."
