Murder Mystery
By Tahira Syall
One Hour and thirty-seven minutes marks the time that I laughed during the comedy-murder film ‘Murder Mystery’ starring Jennifer Aniston (Audrey Spitz) and Adam Sandler (Nick Spitz) directed by Kyle Newacheck.
When a NYC cop who pretends to be a detective, Nick Spitz, finally takes his wife, Audrey Spitz on a long promised European trip. Unfortunately, things quickly go in a different direction when Audrey meets Charles Cavendish (Luke Evans) on the flight, who invites the Spitzs to abandon their low-rent tour bus trip in favour of a week on his billionaire uncle’s, Malcolm Quince (Terence Stamp), super-yacht.
Soon when they reach and start enjoying themselves Malcolm Quince is murdered first which leads to murder of further people as well. They both become the prime suspects. Although the list of the other is lengthy, which includes Grace Ballard (Gemma Arterton), Colonel Ulenga (John Kani), Tobias Quince (David Walliams), Maharajah Vikram Govindan (Adeel Akhtar), Lorenzo (Victoria Turpin) and Suzi Nakamura (Shioli Kutsuna).
Everybody thinks that the Spitzs did it as they are outsiders and do not belong to the family but every other suspect has a motive as well which leads to confusion and leaves the audience in suspense. This makes it interesting for the audience as they are so into the movie that they sit through the movie to find out who the murderer is.
The many frantic incidents that took place starting from hiding under people’s hotel-room bed to an escape via a building ledge many floors above the pavement to the car chase on narrow streets which made the audience in wow.
Despite all this, Aniston and Sandler share an easy and good chemistry which we can see on screen which also makes the movie humorous. This movie was shot in various locations of Italy like Santa Margherita Ligure, Lake Como, and Milan. Initially movie started in Montreal but ended in the most beautiful parts of Italy. Overall the director did a good job in keeping the movie so mysterious till the end.
The movie ends with a big wink at the audience as the Spitz continue their vacation despite of what happened.
