Loved it - have no negative comments to make!

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2019)

From the moment the film started we were engrossed. I must admit that on first hearing Daniel Craig's southern accent I found it a little odd, but on watching him in the rest of the film, he was just brilliant and played a great part. For us he was no longer Craig but the P.I. At times, early on, his character reminded me of inspector Clouseau, when the the clues were right under his nose and he was completely missing them. Very funny.
I didn't know what to expect and as the story unfolded we wondered where it was going and who did what. It is so well acted, with the great cast bringing all the characters to life. It was comical how the family 'loved' Marta, the nurse, and thought of her as 'one of the family', yet each one gave a different country of her origin! Proving that actually, they didn't - as long she looked after Dad/Grandpa, they couldn't care less about her.
I loved the way that Craig's private detective put all the clues together, just as Christie did in her books. Curtis was great too, as usual.
I only recognised Jamie Lee Curtis and Daniel Craig in the cast, as I'd not heard of the others, and it shows you really don't need famous faces to make a great film.
