Another scrub out of a fourth rate made-for-TV whodunit. A waste of time and talent for any half decent actor or actress involved in it. I didn't actually notice any. And, which is worse,
a waste of very decent celluloid.
Why has there been such a rash of late of university professors playing detective ?
So clichéd.
Can't we have a manual worker, a factory hand, plumber or even soldier. The storyline May not be any better but it could claim originality.
And another thing common to all these efforts. With find annoying. Is the predictable denouement. The main character finally confronts the criminal. The criminal as the upper hand. But by some quirk the main character ' gets the drop ' on them.
Delivers a half-hearted blow which puts the criminal on the back foot. Simultaneously disarming them.
Then what does the main character do ? Instead of using the weapon to deliver the coup de grace. They simply flee the scene. Which then allows the criminal to pursue them.
And they are very careful to leave the weapon behind for the criminals benefit.
In real life that never happens. I know that.
