Recent Netflix release "In For a Murder" is the kind of crime comedy you'll want to stream. The Polish feature contains light drama, lots of humor, and lead actor Anna Smolowik's understated performance has been praised even by those who found the movie to be not-so-exciting. According to Decider, "Smolowik conveys the truth of her character with more nuance than the movie probably deserves." Ready Steady Cut's review calls her "a comforting presence, doing her utmost to give a simple character some layers and nuance."
"In For a Murder" is a bit of a sleeper hit in that it barely has any reviews. Over on Rotten Tomatoes, viewers haven't even logged in enough comments to give it a Tomatometer or Audience Score at the moment. Metacritic also appears to be waiting for more information before it can give the new Netflix flick a score. The few professional reviews that exist can best be described as mixed. Decider's review calls it "a dud" and advises fans to skip it, while Ready Steady Cut proclaims it only "intermittently watchable" and also describes it as "silly" and "well-intentioned." However, Leisure Byte says in its review that "In for a Murder" is "a good watch for boring days."
So, if you like the genre and have some spare time, you might want to give "In for a Murder" a try. At under two hours, it's not a huge investment of your time, even if turns out to be something you don't love.
