See How They Run

[Opens Sept. 16 in theaters.] When a curmudgeonly, egotistical, hotheaded Hollywood film director (Adrien Brody) is murdered back stage at a West End theater after a celebratory party in honor of the popular, smash-hit play in 1953 London in Tom George's engaging, entertaining, well-written, superbly acted, nonlinear, twist-filled, unpredictable, star-studded (David Oyelowo, Shirley Henderson, Harris Dickinson, Ruth Wilson, Charlie Cooper, Reece Shearsmith, Pearl Chanda, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Paul Chahidi, Tim Key, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Lucian Msamati, and Sian Clifford), film-within-a-film, 98-minute comedic thriller reminiscent of Agatha Christie's whodunit work, punctuated with dry humor, and dominated by terrific period costumes, a cynical, veteran British inspector (Sam Rockwell) and an ambitious, greenhorn constable (Saoirse Ronan) start an investigation and then find themselves with their hands full as more victims show up.
