Bellamy (2009)

A retired police commissioner, while on vacation, does a private investigation about a possible murder and insurance scam. Concurrently, he lodges his irresponsible brother with him.

Watchable psychological (and criminal) drama, that offers two more or less independent subplots. The mise en scène is perfect, and so is the acting, but the screenplay is conventional and bland, and doesn't deliver much excitement. As Christopher Mulrooney pointed out, the crime is similar to the one in Nabokov's Despair.

Rating: 55
