Watchlist:
A washed up actor best known for playing the title character in the 1980s detective show "Mindhorn" must work with the police when a serial killer says that he will only speak with Detective Mindhorn, whom he believes to be real.
Why you might like this:
Fans of offbeat, satirical comedies will particularly enjoy the 2016 film Mindhorn, directed by Sean Foley. The film's meta-premise, which sees a washed-up actor forced to play his famous TV detective character to catch a killer, allows for both hilarious send-ups of the police procedural genre and thoughtful commentary on fame and nostalgia. The standout performance by Julian Barratt as the titular Mindhorn is a highlight.
