The Thursday Murder Club 2025 American mystery movie review
Four pensioners in a retirement house set in a huge mansion, spend their time investigating the unsolved crimes from the past. While they are working on a murder case from the past, there are shady deals going on around the retirement house - two of the owners are fighting over the future of the place. One tries to preserve the current role of the place, while the other would prefer to sell the area and turn the land into a residential project. The Thursday Murder Club, as they call themselves, have to scramble in order to find out what happened when the co-owner trying to keep the retirement house open ends up dead in suspicious circumstances. While the police conduct the investigation, the four amateur sleuths are working in the background to guide them towards the truth.
Crime mystery movie based on a novel by Richard Osman, is a typical example of the British cozy sub-genre of crime fiction - the murders are the investigation are kept in rather light mood, the killers, the police and the main protagonists are rather one-dimensional characters without any background or distinctive characteristics. The whole story is rather simple and unimpressive, but the main cast (including Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley and Pierce Brosnan) is the strong point of this average production.
