See the films the platforms disagree about most →A washed-up actor is famous for once playing a TV detective named Mindhorn, who had a robotic eye that could "see the truth." When a real-life serial killer on the Isle of Man demands to speak only to Detective Mindhorn, the delusional actor is called in by the police. He seizes the chance for a comeback, believing his fictional skills are real, and bungles his way into a genuine criminal investigation.
