Exciting classic detective!

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2020)

This is an action-packed American detective, designed in the classical style of the genre. This movie was directed by Rian Johnson. He was also a screenwriter and producer. He was inspired by the famous stories of Agatha Christie and wanted to make a mystery movie about the murder.
The plot of the film revolves around the mysterious death of a famous writer who suddenly committed suicide in the presence of all his relatives.
The plot scheme is simple: all heroes find themselves in a confined space and one of them suddenly dies. The police are creating an obvious and believable picture of what happened. And then a damn savvy detective enters the scene. He gradually finds a bunch of mysterious inconsistencies, and each hero reveals significant motives for the murder.
The family of wealthy writer Harlan Tromby gathers in a posh mansion to celebrate his anniversary. In the morning, grandfather is found with a throat. The police arrive, and the heirs are locked in the house, like spiders in a bank. The police are ready to admit suicide, but the famous detective Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig, intervenes.
All relatives of the deceased were very dependent on his money and they all claim a rich inheritance. And the detective himself doesn't know who hired him.
Further, the director shows us a fascinating investigation, which strictly complies with all the laws of the genre. The story unfolds like a ball of thread, gradually opening the curtain of secrecy. At the same time, the creators deliberately try to confuse you in order to maintain interest. This is the most difficult trick in such kind of films. The movie is breathtaking. All characters are different and their images are vivid.
The moral in this film is simple and says that you need to remain a good person, no matter what.
The visual style makes the film very atmospheric. Almost all the scenes in the film unfold in the mansion.
With a relatively small budget, the director was able to assemble a very worthy cast: Daniel Craig, Michael Shannon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans and distinguished Actor Christopher Plummer.
I strongly recommend this detective, especially if you like this genre of films just like me!
