Mindhorn

Mindhorn is the cinematic equivalent of that friend who takes forever to decide what they want to eat: chances are you'll have a good time regardless of the decision, but that doesn't make the journey there any less frustrating. Written by lead actor Julian Barratt and supporting cast member Simon Farnaby, the film's script is scattershot to say t...

Well I enjoyed this movie from start to finish. It probably isn't for everyone, e.g. if you are too old or too young or from another planet. But if you remember British cop dramas from the 70s and 80s – with a bit of Starsky and Hutch thrown in (and if you have a sense of humour) then you should find some real laugh-out-loud moments here. I found...

I love this film. It's not perfect or even a fantastic film, but the writing acting and style *was* fantastic. Sadly it has many drawbacks, the directing and lighting was average, it had a lot of useless scenes and one big one was the ending; Don't get me wrong it was a great ending but the villain characters motivation was non-existent, because t...

Imagine if you will,what would have come along if the British producers of Bergerac or The Persuaders or the Professionals had added that bit of Imaginative American teenage sci-fi appeal from Night rider, or the Six Million Dollar man. The result would have been MINDHORN. Isle of Man detective Mindhorn lost his real eye in some brief special forc...

The title says it all; this movie wants to make you laugh and leave you with a smile on your face afterwards. No nonsense, no melodrama.. The characters are real people (although exaggerated slightly), so it's not a parody - just a feel-good movie that's a little on the silly side.. Recommended! ...

Mindhorn is the ultimate treat for anyone who has an appreciation for ludicrous humour. The film is set on the Isle of man which in my eyes sets the plot up for greatness as the clash of action and crime with understated countryside life is always a winner for me! I love to see the quaintness of British life being fondly ridiculed by a silly parod...

Spoilers . The nostalgic and often cynical mockery of the '80s seems to fertilize an increasing number of films with the basis of their humour. "Mindhorn" works well and there are plenty of moments where the cheesy lines and characters provide ample laughs.. An odd looking Steve Coogan puts five minutes into this, probably to protect his investmen...

Richard Thorncroft is a has-been British TV actor who used to be famous in the late 1980's for playing the titular and charismatic lead role in the Isle of Man detective show Mindhorn, a character with a Robotic eye that could literally see the truth. . Richard has an unexpected opportunity to reignite his career though when a delusional criminal ...

It is very rare now a days that you get to see a comedy film with out any adult language or those creepy scenes and Mindhorn is really an exception proving once again hat you do need a good story.I personally loved and liked this movie and i recommend it everyone who is interested in a good comedy watchable with friends. ...

I have very low comedy standards, I'm old, I'm a man, I'm white, I'm English,I love everyone in this; I must be the target audience. Others have described the plot, it's a good idea and works well, everyone in it is convincing and acts very well. The big problem for me is that it just isn't laughing-style funny; it's sad funny but not in the subtl...
