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

Situated at the breathtaking fictional retirement community of Coopers Chase, pensioners Elizabeth Chase (portrayed by Helen Mirren), Ron Ritchie (Pierce Brosnan), Ibrahim Arif (Ben Kingsley) and Joyce Meadowcroft (Celia Imrie) relish investigating long-forgotten cold murder cases.

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.
