See How They Run
In the West End of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard and eager rookie Constable Stalker take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theater underground, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own peril.

Suffering From Its Script In A Twist of Irony
Despite being a fan of both leads, this movie was just missing something. It's not necessarily a bad film, but I also don't think you're missing anything memorable in the event that you miss it.
It's not especially funny, it's not especially suspenseful, and maybe its biggest crime - I wasn't left wondering "whodunnit?" as much as you'd hope throughout a whodunnit movie.
It also probably doesn't help that this film comes out a couple of years after Knives Out, a far superior murder mystery in almost every way.
On a positive note, I am a fan of the short run time, coming in at just over an hour and a half.
