Inspector Lewis: Whom the Gods Would Destroy 2007

Kevin Whately     Inspector Lewis and his partner Detective Hathaway investigate the murder of Dean Greely.  He was staying on his boat and someone threw a rock onto his boat to get his attention.  He was killed by a blow to the head when he chased them into the woods.  Greely and three other men formed a club during their Oxford student days.  They have little contact with each other today and at first deny that the club existed.  Then a second member of the group is also murdered, the remaining two have a lot of explaining to do.
     A lot of Greek mythology since the club was called the Sons of the Twice Born.  Why has it taken 30 years for retribution?  This is good, not as intense as Wallander but still absorbing.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

90 min, Crime, directed by with Kevin Wately, Laurence Fox, Clare Holman, Rebecca Front.

Note:  Blockbuster 4*,  imdb 7.7, no critic reviews 90% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
