Full Plot Details

Richard Thorncroft is a has-been British television actor who used to be famous in the late 1980s for playing the charismatic title character in the Isle of Man detective show Mindhorn, a character with a robotic eye that can literally "see the truth". Unfortunately, after becoming a little too pompous and arrogant, Richard ends up insulting the Isle of Man and his fellow cast members on the Wogan chat-show, including his on-screen and real-life love interest Patricia Deville (Essie Davies), his stuntman (Simon Farnaby), and bit-part co-star Peter Easterman (Steve Coogan). He decides to leave to try and make it big in Hollywood, but twenty-five years later he's balding in a flat in North London and has recently been replaced for an orthopaedic sock advertisement by John Nettles, much to his chagrin. He is even more jealous that Easterman now fronts a long-running spin-off show which has far eclipsed the success of Mindhorn. Richard has an unexpected opportunity to reignite his career though when a delusional criminal calling himself "The Kestrel" (Russell Tovey) starts terrorizing the Isle of Man and, having an extremely unhealthy obsession with the show, demands to talk only to Mindhorn. Relishing a chance for publicity, Richard dons his turtleneck and robot eye, aggravates the police with his method acting, tries to rekindle his old romance with Patricia, and also attempts to sign a Mindhorn DVD deal with Eastman. With his 1980s political incorrectness, solo musical single, useless cyborg eyepatch, and cheesy one-liners, Mindhorn is here to bring an apocalypse of justice. It's truth time.

Movie Reviews

Irish Independent - 8/10 by Paul WhitingtonIt's very silly, and very funny, and Steve Coogan, Kenneth Branagh and Simon Callow give their all in hammy cameos.
The Herald (Scotland) - 8/10 by Alison RowatCalling all cars: genuinely funny British comedy on the loose, approach with enthusiasm.
Little White Lies - 8/10 by Adam WoodwardJust brilliant. Barratt delivers a comedy performance for the ages.
The Skinny - 8/10 by Philip ConcannonJulian Barratt's performance is almost Alan Partridge-esque in its clueless pomposity.
The List - 8/10 by Katherine McLaughlinThere's so much to love about this superbly daft creation, especially the way Barratt sells his character's arrogance and desperation with a fully committed performance.
International Business Times - 8/10 by Amy WestIf you've not chuckled by the film's final act, just know that you are humourless.
Financial Times - 8/10 by Danny LeighThe story, of course, is mostly pretext, but the movie brims with unexpected pleasures.
Scotsman - 8/10 by Alistair HarknessA rich comedy creation that puts a distinctively British spin on the monster that is minor celebrity.
Sunday Independent (Ireland) - 8/10 by Aine O'ConnorBarratt is perfect in the role and the film will especially (but not exclusively) amuse people familiar with 1980s cop shows, via Alan Partridge.
The Sun (UK) - 8/10 by Jamie EastBarratt dives into the character so whole-heartedly you can't help but embrace the ridiculousness of it all.
