See How They Run (12): Like Leo Kopernick, it’s frustratingly lifeless.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “See How They Run” (2022). Being a big fan of “Knives Out“, I was looking forward to “See How They Run” as a comedy whodunnit. But ultimately, I came out disappointed from this one. It’s “OK”… but I thought that it was no better than “OK”. Bob the Movie … Read more
