Intriguing and amusing

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2020)

The thing I liked the most from this movie is the attention to details. Each
character's relationship with the poor Harlan is meticulously described. This
allows you to evaluate which Trombey member could be the murderer and why.
On the other hand, since all characters are treated in the same way, you
can easily deduce that none of them could be the killer after the first part
of the film. The only exceptions are given by Marta and Ransom.
Marta is revealed to be the murderer halfway through. But wait.. In the
first half of the movie we are superficially led to believe that she is; so
I think that the choice of this "fake reveal" is not so smart because if you tell
me who is the murderer after half movie, OF COURSE that is not the killer.
Despite this choice that I did not appreciate, I enjoyed the final moment
where the truth comes out, it was well written and filmed to me. Also the picture and the production were pretty good.
To sum up, I think that this is a funny mystery movie and I don't understand
the reviewers who think that it is boring. It works good because it is
enough intriguing and amusing at the same time.
