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.

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.

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.

It gives me mild pleasure to say that this movie is absolutely fine, which should be ticked off as a win in its field...SEE HOW THEY RUN safely coasts off sensible humor and likable characters to make a sizable splash.
