In which the Mister joins me in reviewing THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB (2025), from a screenplay by Katy Brand and Suzanne Heathcote director Chris Columbus, and based on Richard Osman's book.  At the luxurious Cooper's Chase retirement village, four sharp and witty retirees—Elizabeth (Helen Mirren), Ron (Pierce Brosnan), Ibrahim (Ben Kingsley), and new member Joyce (Celia Imrie) — meet weekly as "The Thursday Murder Club" to casually solve cold cases.  Their amateur sleuthing turns serious when one of the property's developers, Tony Curran (Geoff Bell), is brutally murdered on their doorstep, followed soon after by the death of his business partner, Ian Ventham (David Tennant).  Using their unique skills and the assistance of a young, bored police constable (Naomi Ackie), the four friends set out to investigate the real-life whodunit, uncovering secrets that connect the present-day killings to a decades-old crime hidden within the retirement home's past.  The film clocks in at 1 h 58 m, is rated PG-13 and is currently available on Netflix.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
