Mystery on a Super Yacht

 These people run the world, or at least have lunch with the people who do. As the super yacht Aurora Borealis launches into the sea to Norway, an ex-flame delivers this mic-drop line to Keira Knightley’s investigative journalist Laura Blacklock. She’s been invited to cover a billionaire’s philanthropic mission even as his wife, who writes the cheques, is dying of cancer.

 The founda­tion will be run by the husband after his wife’s death. You know something is up because billion­aires are currently public enemy no 1, and also because he is played by Guy Peace, who can look shifty even when he is not. Knightley’s cheekbones are stretched to the limit as she races up and down the yacht, raising alarms, collecting evidence and questioning everything. Soon the billion­aire and his pals think Knightley is going bananas due to PTSD, which apparently strikes those who cover difficult stories. There is lots of shaking of beautifully coiffed heads. There is Art Malik lurking around as Robert Mehta, an Indian doctor to the rich. Naturally Knightley’s cheekbones are sharp enough to cut through the smokescreens being thrown her way. The mystery of the woman in Cabin 10 is resolved, but not before Knightley gets to look fetching framed against grey skies and the blue sea and her editor (Gugu Mbatha- Raw) gets to say lines like this is a humane story for inhuman times.
