Shoulda Woulda Coulda been great

Rating: 5/10 (28 December 2019)

Not so much a whodunnit as a whydunnit. Tipping more than it's hat to the great Columbo, Jessica Fletcher and Scooby Doo, this is entertaining enough, but the bit players should've been given more to do, the script should've been tighter and the whole thing could've been smarter. It's enjoyable, but it never fully commits to the high camp it aspires to. It reminded me of a Wes Anderson film if you removed all the style, brains and humour. And Daniel Craig as Frank Underwood was an interesting character choice. Overall it felt rushed, contrived, lost its way, confused, not camp enough. Give me Clue any day.
