Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnen, and Ben Kingsley are all living in the same senior living residence and have joined together to form the titular Thursday Murder Club. They are working on solving a cold case of one of their friends (recently ill) as a last gift to her before she passes. Turns out the cold case is more relevant to their current living situation that they suspected, and that the three also have fascinating (and highly relevant) pasts lives and skillsets. The local constable is a great supporting role and the caricatures of the other residents plays on tried and true tropes quite effectively. Overall, this feels more like a BBC miniseries than a feature film, but these days, who can tell the difference.
