Rating: 7/10 (26 April 2020)

SYNOPSIS:
The famous Mystery novel write, Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer), has been murdered and Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) was anonymously hires to solve the murder and suspects one of the family. Or was it the nurse?
REVIEW:
If you're looking for a film that the whole family can get into and have a fun time with, this is it. A "who-done-it" that doesn't take itself seriously. This film does, however, have a lot of social commentary where they clearly have characters that highlight a lot of those in modern society. Whether it's poking fun at SJWs or having a debate on the status of immigration in this country. I wouldn't say the film is for political people, but the characters will definitely make some laugh at how over-the-top they are. Daniel Craig is amazing at the stereotypical private investigator. Almost cartoonish in how he talks and almost film-noir esc. I also specifically loved Toni Colette's character and how very Valley-girl she is. All that aside, the absolute stand-out performance is Ana de Armas as the Nurse, Marta. I could've definitely seen her as a nomination at the oscars. She's the center-piece of the film or the "donut hole that fills the hole of the donut" in Blanc's terms. I felt everything she was going through and I was heavily rooting for her hoping she didn't make the "nice" choices. At times the film could be a little slow and it could've been cut down a little, but in the end I really enjoyed this film and I was a fan of the ending. 7.7/10.
