Absolutely Surprised

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2019)

Before I start, I have to say that at first, I was hesitant on watching a film directed by Rian Johnson. I was disappointed after seeing The Last Jedi, and so I slightly lowered expectations, even with a good score.
What I noticed right away is that the casting was excellent despite it sounding unusual to be in the role based on their previous roles. The characters are likable despite their actions because each of them have their own unique characteristics.
The story is a straightforward murder mystery but it's not as serious as others. There is a lot of humor in the movie and it's not one of the cringey ones. This is one of the funnier films of this year and most of the audience including me had a good laugh.
How everything is setup and executed in this film, especially character introductions, flashbacks and reveals were well done. It's not generic. I highly recommend it, even if you don't like the director or these types of movies.
