5 Best and Worst Murder Mystery Movies of the Past Decade (Including Death On the Nile)

Since the beginning of cinema, the murder mystery genre has remained a staple of the medium. While the genre has evolved from early mystery stories, then detective stories, to Hitchcockian thrillers, the murder mystery film has evolved into a pretty broad spectrum of conventions. On a base level, the plot should follow a protagonist as they attempt to solve a crime of some sort, although suspense is a common element as well. Over the past decade, however, we have seen a surprising uptick in the number of murder mystery films (for better or worse). Now that the most recent entry in the genre, Death on the Nile, has finally come (and gone) from theaters, it feels like a fitting time to look back on some of the best and worst murder mystery movies of the past decade.
