Much ado about nothing

Rating: 3/10 (25 May 2020)

Had high hopes for this one, seemed like a fun cast in a murder mystery, but not only was the main plot a bit off (spoiler warning), it was really all based on a misunderstanding that caused the the poor heir to kill himself. There was indeed ill intent, but in the end it didn't seem to matter that the young protagonist did not check the label, and thereby confusing the old man's into his demise. I'm sorry, but that is just ridiculous. All characters were stereotypes, and beyond a few exceptions like Don Johnson, they were all easily disposable. No one unfortunately more so than the lead, who although relatable and sweet lacked any opportunities to show her acting skills beyond the deer in the headlight look. Daniel Craig was admittedly amusing, but over-acting ad nausea comes to mind.
Sometimes you can tell very early on that a movie is pretentious and nonsensical, I should have heeded my own advice and cut my losses while i was ahead. The minor twist we all knew was coming was not worth the wait.
