Thursday Murder Club review: The screen version of the Richard Osman novel is sloppy, complacent and a waste of wonderful talent
Briefly

The film is terrible but is expected to be commercially successful, attract many viewers, and likely become a series. Pierce Brosnan portrays a retired trade unionist whose London accent repeatedly fails, sounding inconsistent, sloppy and complacent. The adaptation of a bestselling book suffers from uneven performance choices and an unconvincing lead portrayal. The clearest positive is Helen MIrren's wardrobe, characterized by clean high necklines and flat shoes. The character Elizabeth is depicted as a former high-powered professional who now moves through the setting looking impeccably styled and composed.
Pierce Brosnan plays a retired trade unionist and his London accent keeps going on strike in sloppy and complacent attempt at bringing bestselling book to the screen Well, it's terrible. But we all know that it's going to make a lot of money, get lots of viewers and probably become a series. So let's start with the good things. The best thing, by far, is Helen MIrren's wardrobe.
All clean high necklines and flat shoes. She is Elizabeth, who had a high powered job and now sweeps about the place looking fab.
