Mindhorn
It's truth time!
Directed by Sean Foley
Produced by BBC Film, Scott Free Productions
A comedic crime spoof that mines humor from an aging actor's desperation to reclaim relevance by impersonating his most famous role while a serial killer blurs fiction and reality.
A washed up actor best known for playing the title character in the 1980s detective show "Mindhorn" must work with the police when a serial killer says that he will only speak with Detective Mindhorn, whom he believes to be real.
