Mindhorn

Mindhorn
Release Date: 2017 May 12
Availability: Excludes the U.K.
Netflix Distributed Movie

Plot:
A pretentious actor who achieved brief fame as television detective Mindhorn with a robotically enhanced eye in the '80s is called to duty when a lunatic murderer calls the police station and demands to talk to the fictional Mindhorn. The police must find him to prevent more death, but the actor sees this as a springboard to relaunch his career.

Review:
Rating: Watch it / [It depends] / Skip it
  • I kept hoping this would reach the level of low rent Hot Fuzz (2007), but it never quite gets there. The jokes are never funny enough, and the conclusion isn't big enough despite an excellent premise. While Julian Barratt does an excellent job, he can't carry this film alone. I wanted to like this, but it doesn't deliver.
