We all know Nancy Drew: an amateur sleuth who solves
mysteries and crimes that no police department seem capable of solving.
Starting off as a character in books written by Carolyn Keene, Nancy is now the
subject of a movie starring Emma Roberts.
As a teenager with a passion for mysteries, at the start of
the movie Nancy finds herself as a hostage during a church robbery in her home
town of River Heights, but after sneaking away from the robbers and abseiling
down the side of the building thanks to wire she happened to have in her bag,
she’s celebrated once again as the one who solved the crime.
But as the town sing her praises again, Nancy and her father
leave to move to Los Angeles for her father’s work. As her father asks her to
be a normal teenager and stop sleuthing, Nancy finds herself in the middle of
an unsolved case when they rent the former home of an actress who disappeared
years before and on her return was then found dead during a party.
Unable to stop her mind working overtime, Nancy investigates
the house with all its secret passages determined to find out if Dehlia’s death
was an accident or something more, but when Nancy receives threatening phone
calls and discovers a bomb in her car, she realises she’s trying to uncover
something someone else wants to keep hidden.
Despite the threats, Nancy and her friends resolve to find
out what really happened all those years ago and bring justice to Dehlia, but
with her father imploring her to not sleuth; can she do it without him
noticing?
This was a fun movie which was completely unrealistic, but worth a
watch.
