Synopsis

Spoiler shield

1934. Private detective Miranda Green investigates a murder perpetrated in the British Embassy in Cairo, where a top secret document was stolen, risking to jeopardize both Buckingham Palace and the peace of the world. All those present in this closed place are suspected: the American photographer, the English student, the American actress, the Egyptian security guard, the ambassador interpreter, the Egyptian gardener and - why not? — the Ambassador himself. But who would have expected that a small group of Nazis would be behind a plot, risking to jeopardize both Buckingham Palace and the peace of the world?

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”

"Murder at the Embassy" is meant to be a sequel that meets expectations. It does manage that, albeit in a very understated way. Not only is the production clearly low-budget, but unfortunately, corners were also cut on the script. All in all, it unfortunately looks a bit like amateur theater set against an Egyptian backdrop—much as I regret saying that for the sake of the professional actors involved. And a plot hole like "we’ve just received permission from the tourism board, so we have to send our characters to the pyramids without any logical motivation" is embarrassing. Well, it isn't unpleasant to watch, but it is a bit too simplistic—and too heavily tailored to be "PC."
