A good effort in this hard-to-innovate genre.

Rating: 7/10 (27 November 2019)

This is good - but it isn't great. Ana de Armas competently, if not vibrantly, takes centre stage with Daniel Craig - sporting a deep Kentuckian accent - playing the Poirot-esque private detective role. Chris Evans leads the remainder of this accomplished, if somewhat under-utilised cast in a murder-mystery caper that doesn't quite have the brio I'd hoped for. It moves along well enough, though and is good fun to watch. It just doesn't quite catch fire. It dips a bit in the middle too, and could probably lose about 20 minutes without compromising the story very much (if at all). You won't guess the ending - unless you have a crystal ball - so it's certainly worth going to see.
