Atom User Reviews for See How They Run
Wonderful theatrics and allure mixed with nostalgia. Great humor.

In murder mystery movies, it doesn't really add to the mystery if you tell what the ending is going to be just fifteen minutes into the film...so silly! I think it was meant as a plot device, but just made the movie less exciting.
It’s just like the Scream movies in how it points out the different tropes of Whodunnits while also doing those exact tropes or subverting them.
we had fun watching this movie. it's nice to relax and enjoy a movie without it being heavy action or intense. This was a fun movie.
Fun almost satire take on an Agatha Christy who dunit
The writers felt far too pleased with themselves to let this just be what it was supposed to be — a spoof of Agatha Christie’s work with the fourth wall removed. Only Ronan’s performance made it watchable.
What a dynamic cast! Lots of fun, so many eclectic characters. Great pace and perfect soundtrack. Unexpected and surprising. Keeps you intrigued until the very end!
Metacritic
Whenever Ronan’s not on the screen, “See” seems to lose something. It’s no mystery why.
This is the feature film debut of veteran television director Tom George, and his experience directing comedy shows in the perfect comedy timing here. There are small bits that turn into running jokes through the movie. Then again George was given a lot to work with by screenwriter Mark Chappell, whose tight script uses every genre cliche in the service of clever fun. And this top-notch cast is a joy to watch.
Despite effectively crafting character conflicts and jokes around the messy business of moving life to the stage and then moving it from the stage to the screen, See How They Run feels like it’s missing some punch. It’s certainly clever, but almost too much so.
