The trailer for the new mystery film "See How They Run" is here. In it, Saoirse Ronan and Sam Rockwell star as a constable and an inspector, respectively, trying to solve a murder in 1950s London. Ronan's Constable Stalker is a rookie with penchants for puns and annoying her boss, Rockwell's Inspector Stoppard. From this first look, the film appears to have a kooky-caper vibe, similar to "Knives Out." Watch the trailer above!

"See How They Run" is directed by Tom George from a screenplay by Mark Chappell. Here's how Fox Searchlight describes the plot: "In the West End of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and eager rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theater underground, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own peril."

"See How They Run" is part of a packed slate for Ronan. She's also starring in the upcoming sci-fi movie "Foe" with Paul Mescal and in the movie "The Outrun," based on Amy Liptrot's memoir of the same name. The 28-year-old actress has already been nominated for an Oscar four times, though she's yet to take home the gold.
