The charm and thrill of what can be compared to an Agatha Christie novel on the big screen

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2019)

One of my favorite movies of the year by far.
Rian Johnson truly delivered and fantastic, thrilling, and suspenseful film that keeps the audience engaged right up until the very end.
Witty writing and great direction that come full circle once all the puzzle pieces fit and makes the audience let out an audible "aha!".
The set and set pieces themselves give this movie a feeling of watching a game of Cluedo unfold and right from the get go you're carefully watching and listening to every detail.
The cast is wonderful as well. Though not every character is major, every performance brings something to the entire movie with no one really giving off the feeling of not having to be there. Daniel Craig is obviously a stand out and every moment that he's on screen is a treat. Channeling a southern accent and being this perceptive and almost cartoonish private detective make his performance really something I was not expecting from Craig but it was wonderful to watch.
The movie makes it seem that everything is already solved from the very beginning and the game has only just begun and the mystery only deepens as the movie until it eventually unravels.
Rian Johnson truly deserves this success after the backlash received after Star Wars. If you love charming mystery, with a great cast, really witty and even funny dialogue that all ties into the story, then this movie won't let you down.
