Fun and Stylish, but ever with the tiresome subtext

Rating: 6/10 (26 December 2019)

I mostly enjoyed this movie, it was fun, with it's over the top characters and a lush mystery house mansion. Toward the end of the movie it began to dawn on me: all the white people in this flick are bad, irredeemably bad, bad to the bone. They even looked bad. So much for complexity of characters (which is usually the backbone of a good mystery!) The only family member that seems slightly redeemable is the owner of all this wealth, because, in his old age he's come upon the wisdom that the only way to fix his evil evil family is to cut them all off with out a red cent.
My take away: at the end of the movie I turned to my husband and said, "white man bad". Nuff said
