Overview
A group of senior sleuths passionate about solving cold cases get plunged into a real-life murder mystery in this comic crime caper.
For much of the movie, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was a tv movie that was somewhat elevated by the tremendous cast. After all, that is the only reason that it was on anyone’s radar, right? But I think the cast did in fact elevate it to something more than just a comfort watch. Also, I think the story did something that is quite difficult to do in mysteries: there were enough parts to the mystery to allow the audience to participate and possibly even solve the mystery.
