Matchmaker mysteries: The art of the kill

"Matchmaker mysteries: The art of the kill"


Watched English movie 'Matchmaker mysteries: The art of the kill'. 
This film is directed by Catherine Cyran. Written by Marcy Holland, Dave Thomas. Produced by Lance H. Robbins. Music by Steffan Andrews. The film stars Danica McKeller, Victor Webster, Bruce Boxleitner, Aliyah O’Brien, Andrew Dunbar, Cory Lee, Alisha Ahamed, Jane McGregor. The film runs for 1 hour 30 minutes and was released in 2021. I watched it on Qatar air on 6th Jun 2023. 

There is a death in a museum. Angie Dove, a matchmaker happens to visit the museum with her retired detective dad, who is investigating a series of thefts of personal items in the museum. Angie, being her inquisitive and intelligent self and a daughter of detective can’t help but investigate. The Detective assigned to the case is her friend and doesn’t mind her help/meddling. 

It’s a whodunit. However the reason for the murder is not very well hidden and the audience can guess why things happened. Otherwise the story has flow. It doesn’t slow down. The identity of murderer is well guarded. The matchmaker finds what neither the police nor the detective Dad can.

Danica McKeller plays Angie. She is good looking and acts well. Victor Webster plays the Detective.  He is handsome and pairs well with Danica. Bruce Boxleitner plays her father. He has limited scope. Alisha Ahamed plays assistant of the victim. She’s good. 

Apparently this is not the first movie in Matchmaker mysteries series. I hadn’t watched earlier ones, but that didn’t affect this movie.

Positives: Short length. 
Negatives: Matchmaker is better than police.

You may give it a try or miss it. Doesn’t matter.
