A Silly Fun Time

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2019)

Having endured his own knives out moment with "Star Wars" fans...director Rian Johnson returns to a fun romp through Agatha Christie route. The mysterious death of a patriarch that reveals family dynamics. At the center is an "anchor baby" nurse whose adorable naivete of the wealthy actually helps her navigate the bickering within. Though, at times, soaring with twist and turn...if you've seen enough of these, some of it is fairly obvious. But Daniel Craig adds a bit of buoyancy with, what I can only describe as Kentucky Fried Hercule Poirot...it's truly the journey.
A fun evening watch during the holidays with family when fractured politics and nerves get you all down. It holds a mirror to being just a good person without all the bad blood turn to poor choices in life.
