The Corner Penthouse

20th Century Studios/Disney recently released See How They Run (2022) digitally. Normally, I only review physical disc media releases, but this movie sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a watch. Read on to find out more about it...

[ SYNOPSIS ]

Welcome to the greatest murder ever staged! It is the West End of London in the 1950s, and plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play have come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and his eager rookie sidekick, Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan), take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theatre underground. The more they investigate the mysterious homicide, the more they realize that they do so at their own peril.

[ SPECIFICATIONS ]

The movie is presented in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio with a runtime of 1:38:09. The movie has been rated PG-13 for some violence/bloody images and a sexual reference. Audio languages include English, French, and Spanish. Subtitle languages include English SDH, French, and Spanish.

[ SPECIAL FEATURES ]

All of the content listed below can be found on Movies Anywhere. The special features may or may not appear on other services.

• See How They Run Behind The Curtain (25:47) - Hear from the talented filmmakers and cast as they pull back the curtain on the filmmaking process which had its unique challenges and rewards. Take a look at the special access to famous locations as well as the care and detail used to recreate them.

[ NOTES ]

What a charming little meta murder mystery bolstered by a great performance from the adorable Saoirse Ronan as perky Constable Stalker. The interplay between Stalker and Sam Rockwell's Inspector Stoppard is what kept my interest from beginning to end. I would love to see the two characters return in a sequel, if not Stalker appearing in her own spin-off film.

Right now, you can buy or rent See How They Run (2022) digitally on Amazon. I can't find any pre-order listings for a Blu-ray or DVD release, but there is a digital soundtrack album.

I was able to find the movie's Production Notes document (Docx format, 6.3 Mb) on the Disney/Getty Images press site, which also has lots of images from the movie. Definitely worth checking out, as is the movie. You can also check out these behind the scenes featurettes: Sam and Saoirse, Adrien & David, Spirit of Improvisation, and Costumes.
