8/10
Neat Little Murder Mystery

Warning: Spoilers
I saw Sleeping Dogs, starring Russell Crowe-Thor: Love and Thunder, Gladiator; Karen Gillan-Thor: Love and Thunder, Stuber; Tommy Flanagan-Sons of Anarchy_tv, Gladiator and Marton Csokas-The Last Duel, The Equalizer.

This is a neat little murder mystery that is based on a 2017 book called The Book of Mirrors by Eugene O. Chirovici. It was filmed in Australia. Russell plays an ex homicide detective that had a bad car accident that gave him memory loss. He is trying an experimental treatment that is repairing his memory and his doctor told him to keep his mind stimulated by reading anything or playing puzzles. Russell is approached by a woman about a 10 year old case that he worked on-before his accident-and the killer is going to be executed in a month. She claims he is innocent and he wants to talk to Russell so Russell goes to see him. Russell believes him and decides to investigate a little more. Marton is a teacher and the person that was killed 10 years ago. Karen was Marton's assisstant and Tommy was Russell's partner. There are lots of twists and suspects as Russell is working on getting his memory back and untwisting all the evidence to find exactly what happened-lots are told in flashbacks.

It's rated R for violence, bloody images, language and sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 50 minutes.

I enjoyed it enough that I would buy it on DVD.
