What keeps Murder Mystery fun is its relative unpredictability, since you know Sandler won't shy away from goofy logic in the name of entertainment. As you might imagine, Nick's job as a cop comes in handy in the final reel, though things come to a head a little early, and you realize the film has one last twist up its sleeve, leading to a Ferrari-driven ending that may be just the thing to save their marriage. After nearly losing their lives, they huddle up to go through the list of suspects once more before presenting their theory to the surviving guests and the authorities. The two leads become separated after a fight, only to reunite for a library shootout against a shadowy figure who's better with blowdarts than bullets. That thing that Nick and Audrey are supposed to be having on their dream vacation! Obviously, getting caught up in a dangerous murder mystery isn't terribly relaxing, so naturally, there's some trouble in paradise. Instead of big-budget explosions, we get Sandler and Aniston navigating a precarious ledge outside their hotel, and then hiding under a bed during someone else's romantic encounter - hardly original ideas, but these two performers manage to make them fun nevertheless.Īh yes, fun. Be warned, this isn't Mission: Impossible, folks. Their inquiries lead to a fun expository scene with the colonel's bodyguard that sets up the film's first real action sequence.

At this point, the ship has docked in Monte Carlo, Monaco, where a local detective rounds up the guests for questioning. Once everyone is eventually allowed to leave the ship, Nick and Audrey begin discreetly interrogating the unusual suspects. In the blink of an eye, another body turns up, replete with a typed confession/suicide note. As a cop who's out of his element with no jurisdiction, he's kind of like Beverly Hills Cop's Axel Foley, if Axel's back hurt and he wasn't cool.

Apparently, not even a murder can make him lose his appetite.

#MURDER MOVIE FULL#
Engrossed in a mystery novel throughout the trip, Audrey is full of theories and eager to play amateur detective, while Nick is content to continue enjoying the delicious shrimp onboard. Of course, it's not long before the lights go out and the rich old man is killed, prompting finger-pointing that leads in the direction of suspicious new guests Nick and Audrey - who as Americans, make the perfect patsies. Director Kyle Newacheck ( Game Over, Man!) and writer James Vanderbilt ( Zodiac) actually do a good job of setting up the pieces on this floating chessboard, establishing everyone's relationship to Quince and their reason for being on the ship. Audrey is immediately enthralled by Cavendish, while Nick is left starstruck by Arterton's glamorous Grace Ballard.

The motley crue includes the magnate's girlfriend ( Shioli Kutsuna) his son ( David Walliams) a movie star ( Gemma Arterton) a Formula 1 race car driver ( Luis Gerardo Mendez) who speaks limited English a funky Maharajah ( Adeel Akhtar) a one-handed colonel ( John Kani), and the colonel's massive bodyguard ( Ólafur Darri Ólafsson). However, on the plane they meet the dashing first-class passenger Charles Cavendish ( Luke Evans), who promptly invites them to join him in Cartagena, Colombia on a luxury cruise ship, where his wealthy uncle, Malcolm Quince ( Terrence Stamp), has gathered his friends and family to discuss his will. To celebrate their anniversary, they embark on a globetrotting adventure, albeit one on a budget. Murder Mystery finds the duo playing blue-collar couple Nick and Audrey Spitz - he's a cop, she's a hairdresser - who only seem to travel for funerals, and have never taken the European vacation they've always talked about. Sandler and Aniston previously co-starred in Just Go With It, and while the screen may be smaller this time around, they still have solid chemistry together.

There may be a low bar, but Adam Sandler's latest Netflix movie Murder Mystery is probably his best streaming release yet* thanks to the help of an old friend - Jennifer Aniston.
