British comedy and debut feature from director Sean Foley. The film follows Richard Thorncroft (Julian Barratt), a washed-up actor who enjoyed fleeting success in the 1980s playing a TV detective named Mindhorn. Now living in poverty in London after throwing his career away trying to make it in Hollywood, Thorncroft has been left to watch on helplessly as his glamorous ex-girlfriend and former co-star Patricia Deville (Essie Davis) continues to find success as a news reporter and is now happily married to his former stunt double Clive Parnevik (Simon Farnaby). However, despite his desperate situation, Thorncroft is suddenly given another shot at stardom when a crazed fugitive obsessed with his old TV show contacts police and demands to negotiate with Mindhorn in a bid to prove his innocence. The cast also includes Steve Coogan, Nicholas Farrell and Harriet Walter. (StudioCanal UK)

A film that suited me both in terms of its humor and its plot. It's a reference to the old crime shows that were far-fetched. It is a parody of them, but a celebration of them as well. It's got the right retro style to it, which I like, and it's really very silly in places, which I like even more. It just took me a few minutes to get into the humor. But then it was great.

Mindhorn is a terrible piece of crap and that's probably why I got to laugh so much. I haven't seen such a bunch of losers in a long time, and the plot kept me entertained despite its wackiness. Another reason why I enjoyed the film so much is the British accent I'm practically obsessed with.
