Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren make the most of 'The Thursday Murder Club,' Netflix amiable but treacly adaptation of Richard Osman's mystery bestseller.

Actor Helen Mirren, one of the stars of "The Thursday Murder Club," a movie about a group of retirees who enjoy cracking unresolved murder cases, said it's great to see older people’s life experiences celebrated on screen.

Given that it'll be available to watch on Netflix next week, the UK's three major cinema chains won't be screening The Thursday Murder Club. Movies need to have a longer exclusive window in cinemas (generally at least 30 days between theatrical and home release) to be shown in the major chains.
