Effortlessly entertaining ensemble mystery movie!

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2019)

Rian Johnson pays tribute to the classic murder-mysteries of old ranging from Agatha Christie to Columbo. Since this movie is still newly arrived in theaters, I'll stave from spoiling the movie.
I'll say this, the movie wraps a 7/10 mystery up with a 8/10 cast and 9/10 direction from Rian Johnson who keeps it all balanced out well and good. Daniel Craig is very good as the colorful detective Benoit Blanc and Ana De Armas is excellent as the de facto protagaonist out of an impressive ensemble. Shout out to Chris Evan who's clearly having fun with his part.
The movie has a good sense of pacing to let the mystery unravel piece by piece. You think you know how the story will end but then it surprises you. Not a bad feat in this day and age.
