"All the world's a stage -"
"- No, it isn't!"
Mindhorn is a very British comedy in the vein of Alan Partridge, but it is nowhere near as accomplished as the Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa movie. The cast play it suitably straight, Julian Barratt does a very good job of creating the self-absorbed and deluded ex-TV detective drawn into an actual murder case, and the 80s stylings are carefully referenced and recreated. The film occasionally raises a smile, but it is such a gentle and thinly-written exercise that it leaves a fairly muted impression overall.
