Critics Consensus

See How They Run may not do itself many favors by asking for Christie comparisons, but this is still one fun whodunit.

Audience Says

Even if See How They Run isn't the smartest or most unpredictable mystery you've seen, some great work from the stars makes this a consistently good time.

David Stratton

The Australian

George and Chappell are faithful to the spirit of Christie – there won’t be many viewers who are able to guess the identity of the murderer before the final denouement.

Rated: 4/5

For Agatha Christie and golden age mystery fans, See How They Run’s derivative nature is its appeal. The film isn’t doing anything new but it’s not trying to, the whole point is to colour within the same lines, but maybe use a few different shades.

Rated: 3/5

Sydney Morning Herald

The film is no match for Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, the hit responsible for the big-screen revival of murder mystery spoofs. But between the laughs are some smart observations about the art and ethics of telling a story.

Rated: 3.5/5

This jaunty comedy thriller is the closest we are likely to get to a film version of The Mousetrap – but it scuttles all over the place.

Rated: 2/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

When talking about whodunits in his opening narration, Leo remarks: “if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.” But that doesn’t make a good whodunit any less enjoyable. And See How They Run is definitely enjoyable.

Rated: 4/5

Unfortunately, it was boring. How many times has this type of thing already been done? I was hopeful, but disappointed. And a total waste of Sam Rockwell's talent. Some good one liners from Saoirse, but not enough to make up for boredom.
