You May Know Who - But Do You Know How?

Rating: 8/10 (4 December 2019)

This was such fun. It was great watching Daniel Craig be his cleverist (is that a word -- then I make it up) best as Benoit Blanc. From the beginning when he clicked when someone told a lie to the end when he figured out the lay of things. I also got a kick out of Don Johnson in this movie. I've never seen him in a role were he appeared to be so vulnerable and he did it well. Jamie Lee plays the same character in so many movies, so it's hard to tell whether that's the real Jamie Lee or not. Toni Collette was terrific and I loved all the angles they shot her -- she would look either evil or coquettish in the same scene from different angels. K Callan was a kick. She could stare with the best of them. That might have been the easiest and most memorable part she's played in a while -- a true scene stealer. And needless to say, Everybody loves Christopher Plummer. Finally, one cannot leave out Ana de Armas as Marta. She did quite well, indeed, as a frightened maid who has great reason to be. And she looks a lot better as a brunette.
One thing I thoroughly appreciated about this film is that you entered into politics, BUT you had both sides of the argument, not just the libs side of things. And I loved that Don has the last word on that. :) Made me happy I didn't have to leave the movie because I will if a movie is so biased.
Thanks for good fun. I love a good mystery.
