Intro: Before leaving to go on holiday I saw the trailer for this movie and how much they were trying to push it on Netflix. And of course I was intreagued!
Film 2407: "The Thursday Murder Club" (2025), Chris Columbus
Watched: From my laptop
Language: English
Watched with: Niamh
Thoughts: I enjoyed this movie although, I'll be honest, I was expecting a bit more. I mean, it's very enjoyable and the cast is great, but yeah, I was hoping for something a bit more thrilling, almost like of the first "Knives Out".
Reality is, "The Thursday Murder Club" is a perfectly fine movie, the actors do their job perfectly and overall it's a fun ride. Also, it's always nice to see Pierce Brosnan back in action.
Side note: Writing about this movie that I watched in early September, I cannot help but think about Celia Imrie in the UK's "The Celebrity Traitors". Who knew that, only a few weeks later, the world would have witnessed Imrie becoming one of the funniest contestant on the celebrity spinoff of "The Traitors" thanks to her exchanges with Alan Carr and, of course, that fart. Icon.
Cast: Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie, Naomi Ackie, Daniel Mays, Jonathan Pryce, Richard E. Grant, David Tennant.
Box Office: /
Worth a watch?: Not groundbreaking, but surely entertaining. The four main leads are a perfect match together and, overall, "The Thursday Murder Club" is one of the latest best additions to the Netflix catalogue. (If only it didn't have that usual glossy and overly perfect look that every Netflix production has...)
Awards: /
Key word: Passport.
