Don't Jump to conclusions

Warning: Spoilers
In London, 1953 the Mousetrap is a long running Agatha Christie play which is like all Agatha Christie writings. It is going to be made into a film directed by Leo Kopernick (Adrien Brody) who starts off by introducing the scene to the audience. We get a glimpse of the various characters and why they want the first victim dead. After which Detective Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) a hard drinking man and rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) investigate the murder. This quickly becomes a comedy that not only spoofs who-dun-it films but also itself by bringing things back in a clever way. It is not as overtly funny as "Murder by Death" but has funny lines that you must be paying attention to grasp. It is a film that will make you smile with a silly ending.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
