When her play \u201cThe Mousetrap\u201d opened in London in 1952, she reckoned it would last eight months. 70 years later, the unkillable production lives on \u2014 even Covid only clipped it for 14 months \u2014 and yet, the actual plot of the longest-running show in theater history makes most people draw a blank. This is due to two clauses in Christie\u2019s contract: First, every night, the actors order the audience to keep the story secret, and second, every movie producer who wants to turn the play into a film is told they must wait until the end of its run, which at this point may be never.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Yet, debut director Tom George (of the BBC sitcom \u201cThis Country\u201d) and screenwriter Mark Ch<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ell have cleverly cracked the code. \u201cSee How They Run,\u201d a snappy comedy that struts in with an eyebrow coyly arched, stages its own murder mystery on the backstages of this backstory. The intrigue starts in 1953, when sleazy Hollywood filmmaker Leo K\u00f6pernick (Adrien Brody) is strangled on the night of \u201cThe Mousetrap\u2019s\u201d hundredth performance. \u201cI should have seen this coming,\u201d K\u00f6pernick\u2019s ghost narrates drolly. After all, he\u2019s the crass American who irritated the play\u2019s cast and crew by arguing that his version would open with a violent slaying \u2014 and insisted that said victim would be the plot\u2019s most unlikable character, who turns out to be him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    To find the murderer, the Scotland Yard duo of Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell), a jaded drunk, and Constable Stocker (Saoirse Ronan), a greenhorn itching to slap handcuffs on anyone who glowers, must investigate K\u00f6pernick\u2019s many moral failings and enemies. There\u2019s the aggravated screenwriter Melvyn (David Oyelowo), who wished him dead. There\u2019s \u201cThe Mousetrap\u201d star Richard Attenborough (Harris Dickinson), whose appearance is historically half-accurate (Attenborough did originate a lead role in the production) and half-fictionalized (he did not angrily push a Hollywood director into a four-tier cake). Other suspects considered K\u00f6pernick a heartless lover, a wastrel father, a blackmailer, a fool and a creep. Yet, paramount among his crimes, as far as the film is concerned, is that even in death, K\u00f6pernick\u2019s ghost continues to sneer that murder mysteries \u2014 even his own \u2014 are boring. As his ghost groans, \u201cSeen one, you\u2019ve seen \u2018em all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Gauntlet thrown. \u201cSee How They Run\u201d is a retro homage that surprises audiences with giggles and suspense. Chappell\u2019s script pits old-fashioned Christie-style chills against the hip gunplay that K\u00f6pernick claims will excite Eisenhower-era squares. (K\u00f6pernick\u2019s ideas are destined to become the action flick status quo.) In flashbacks, he pitches his take on updating the whodunnit to the unswayable Melvyn (David Oyelowo), a traditionalist who clings so stubbornly to the past that he still pronounces the word \u201cpenchant\u201d as though he believes it\u2019s 1066 and England\u2019s official language is French.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    While the real-life London producers of \u201cThe Mousetrap\u201d credit its perennial success to the fact that it\u2019s performed without a drop of irony, George and Chappell give their cast\u2019s deadpan line deliveries a light layer of modern gloss. We\u2019re meant to snort at the subtext when Melvyn introduces his live-in Italian lover (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd) as his, er, nephew, or chuckle when a police commissioner (Tim Key) declares himself a feminist modernizer, and then asks Ronan to fetch him a tea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Sometimes, the joke is on \u201cThe Mousetrap\u201d itself, which is presented as stiff and stagey. Whenever any of the film\u2019s characters attempt to sit through it, they quickly make excuses to leave. A better Wile E. Coyote-style gag takes place in the wings, when a person in peril attempts to fend off the killer by flinging ceramic vases, which turn out to be plaster props that crumble harmlessly. Mostly, though, George and Chappell enjoy watching these artistic hotheads bicker about their differing story-telling philosophies, debates that allow the filmmakers to pluck sample gimmicks \u2014 time stamps, close-ups of pistols, country house clich\u00e9s \u2014 and re-insert them into their own movie as a meta-prank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    As the plot quickens, editors Gary Dollner and Peter Lambert divide the screen into two pieces, then three, then four. Their cutting is brisk and fanciful, and, during a standout dream sequence, marvelously illogical. Meanwhile, composer Daniel Pemberton unleashes a jazzy upright bass to climb up and down the scales.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Still, the film is firmly in the pocket of Rockwell and Ronan as the odd pair working to solve the carnage. Rockwell\u2019s shambling detective is all kinetic energy: He drinks, he limps, he slams his coat in car doors, and at one point, skids to his knees. Ronan is so aquiver with nervous excitement that she continually chokes out nonsensical lines that zoom almost under the radar. (She explains that she quit her secretary career for the police academy because she \u201chates the sight of blood.\u201d) George gets Ronan in such a tizzy that we are poised to see her panic just from the snap of a pencil tip. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Despite Rockwell and Ronan\u2019s hilarious turns, they\u2019re nearly outshone by a small cameo from Shirley Henderson playing the great Dame Agatha herself, who becomes tangled in this web of lies and fools. At last, Christie has an opening to prove she can save her own neck. But what she does, how she does it, and whether it works is a mystery best to discover on the screen.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
