Murder at the Embassy

"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."
