Mindhorn

Richard Thorncroft is a has-been British TV actor who used to be famous in the late 1980's for playing the titular and charismatic lead role in the Is...le of Man detective show Mindhorn, a character with a Robotic eye that can literally "see the truth". Unfortunately, after becoming a little too pompous and arrogant, Richard ends up insulting both the Isle of Man and his fellow cast members on the Wogan chat-show, including his on-screen and real life love interest Patricia DeVille, (Effie Davies) his Stuntman, (Simon Farnaby) and bit-part costar Peter Easterman. (Steve Coogan) He decides to leave to try and make it big in Hollywood, but 25 years later and he's balding in a flat in North London and has recently been replaced for an orthopaedic sock advert by John Nettles, much to his chagrin. He is even more jealous that Easterman now fronts a long running spin-off show which has far eclipsed the success of Mindhorn. Richard has an unexpected opportunity to reignite his career though when a delusional criminal calling himself "The Kestrel" (Russell Tovey) starts terrorising the Isle of Man and, having an extremely unhealthy obsession with the show, demands to talk only to Mindhorn. Relishing a chance for publicity, Richard dons his turtleneck and robot eye, aggravates the police with his method acting, tries to rekindle his old romance with Patricia and also attempts to sign a Mindhorn DVD deal with Easterman. With his 80's political incorrectness, solo musical single, useless cyborg eyepatch and cheesy one-liners, Mindhorn is here to bring an Apocalypse of Justice. It's truth time. Show More

Details

Mindhorn is a comedy film centered around Richard Thorncroft, a washed-up British TV actor who once played the lead role in the hit detective show Mindhorn. Richard's character had a robotic eye capable of seeing the truth. However, Richard's fame quickly faded after he became arrogant and insulted his co-stars and the Isle of Man during a chat show appearance. He left for Hollywood but failed to make it big, ending up balding and living in a flat in North London.

Richard's career takes an unexpected turn when a criminal calling himself The Kestrel begins terrorizing the Isle of Man. The criminal, with an unhealthy obsession with Mindhorn, demands to only speak to the fictional detective. Seeing an opportunity to regain some fame and publicity, Richard dons his iconic turtleneck and robot eye and returns to the Isle of Man.

As Richard embarks on his mission to catch the criminal, he tries to rekindle his romance with his former love interest Patricia DeVille and secure a DVD deal with his former co-star Peter Easterman.

With his outdated humor, awkward single, and cheesy catchphrases, Mindhorn is back to bring justice to the Isle of Man. The film explores Richard's attempts to revive his career and come to terms with his past mistakes while providing plenty of laughs along the way.
