Movie #3497 "Thursday Murder Club" (Netflix) This movie proves if you cut out a few characters and suspects, trim the fat and change one of the characters a bit, voila! A better story can result from the book, which I read recently when I found out Pierce Brosnan was going to be one of the main characters in it. This was much funnier than the book and less convoluted. In the book, there were several deaths to deal with (my complaint after reading the book ---- too down of subject matter in a home for seniors.) They actually added more for the four main actors to do, and had much less of Donna and her boss (the cops) covered in the show --- not a good time to show characters in law and order business that aren't better detectives than 4 senior citizens. Good choice. I would give this a strong 4 and recommend it, esp. if you like any of the 4 leads. (stunning UK actors)
