Exemplary in its own right!

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2020)

An indeed fresh take in Murder Mystery sub-genre, that states itself in quality and near perfect execution. Rian Johnson as the director did a phenomenal job of making sure that every piece falls into its desired place. A well constructed writing, with some clever bits and pieces given here and there in order to tease the viewer; it certainly showcases its true merit in that regard. It makes us guess the actual culprit several times, it makes us confuse more with every new incident. Even though the revelation at the end wasn't totally surprising but the sheer amount of excellence in the build up alone could provide the much needed satisfaction. And I must point out the cumulative blend of Comedy and Suspense here; as the balance has been done tremendously well. They never crosses each others path and stays in their own territories. I liked that. Cinematography, Sound Design both pay homage to Vintage movies. The nostalgic locations somehow finds its similarities with classic cinemas that belonged from the same genre. Performances are outright brilliant. Each one of the characters have done justice to their respective roles. Special Mention must go to Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas and Chris Evans as they were truly the driving force behind.
Some political ideologies have also been talked about although they didn't portray much importance in here in terms of the storyline but surely showcased Different viewpoints in an interesting presentation nonetheless. In the end, It's a Well Directed, Brilliantly Written and Impressively Acted film that deserves more viewership. I would surely encourage you to do the same.
