Good but...

Rating: 6/10 (29 January 2020)

Very good whodunnit but it's a one time watch, a highly enjoyable watch nonetheless. However, does every damn American movie has to say something about Trump. Make no mistake this is a straight-up mystery film but it has an overarching theme, which is a little irritating. I guess directors feel like they need to be on the right side of politics to be engaging. This reminds me of one of the critics' review of 'Dragged Across Concrete', in which he called it a right-wing propaganda. I guess other films could be called left-wing propaganda? Maybe just maybe, film-makers should focus on films, rather than social commentary, especially when it's not particularly profound and are based on over-all "feelings" among the artistic types and the enlightened. That being said, if you also notice this trend, don't let it stop you from watching this. As stated before - a very witty and escapist whodunnit!
