Mindhorn
When a twisted killer tells the police he'll only speak to a fictional 1980s TV detective, the washed-up actor who played the detective must work with the police to capture the killer.

It won't win many awards or break many box office records, but Mindhorn doesn't outstay its welcome and approaches the important business of spoofery with a practically academic attention to ridiculous detail. A hoot.

Mindhorn is a familiar comic creation in the tradition of Alan Partridge or Stephen Toast - pompous, overbearing, lacking self-awareness... But the film's strength lies in less obvious laughs.
May 07, 2017
Mindhorn keeps the laughs coming, even while giving the impression of being a 30-minute TV sketch stretched out to a 90-minute feature.

[It] may be inconsistent, but there are enough comic high points, mixed in with just enough pathos, to make Mindhorn worth seeking out.

The plot can't quite generate enough intrigue or tension to make the picture feel like much more than a one-joke movie, albeit a very funny one.

Barratt is perfect in the role and the film will especially (but not exclusively) amuse people familiar with 1980s cop shows, via Alan Partridge.

This is a bravely unflattering and deft performance by Barratt, who injects a delicate balance of resilience, sadness and resentment into Thorncroft while still making us root for him as the ignominies mount up.

It's very silly, and very funny, and Steve Coogan, Kenneth Branagh and Simon Callow give their all in hammy cameos.
May 08, 2017
The design looks suitably cheap and the film's one joke is milked relentlessly, albeit with energy, conviction, and occasionally laughter.

A likeable but toothless nostalgia trip.

Barratt and Farnaby have come up with a comedy action-thriller scenario that just about works, and the gags-per-minute ratio is through the roof.
