Saw this last night. It was an entertaining flick, Daniel Craig’s southern gentleman accent was delightful :lol: :lol:

It was just refreshing to see a movie that isn’t a reboot, remake, sequel or adaptation from something. The fact that this was done by the same dipshit that fucked up The Last Jedi makes me question if he really fucked it up or if people behind the scenes were forcing him to turn it into such fuckery.

I’m def planning on seeing this.

And yes I’m pretty sure Kathleen Kennedy is the primary reason Last Jedi is so terrible.

He was the same dipshit that directed some of the best episodes of Breaking Bad too, including Ozymandias.

Saw it this past weekend. Took me a while to get used to Daniel Craig with that Foghorn Leghorn impersonation (as I believe someone in the movie put it), but I found it an entertaining piece.

Christopher Plummer was excellent as Harlan, Craig was an ace as Blanc, and Captain America did a fair job as the youngest son, but Jamie Lee Curtis seemed kind of left out of the fray.

Don Johnson seems to be in everything these days!

Decent whodunit definitely worth a look.

Not on the level of Usual Suspects, but good as far as modern attempts go.

Is he perhaps not a dipshit?!

It's hard to know.

The Last Jedi felt like he did whatever he wanted with no regard for the previous movie(s).

The difference is that he didn't write Ozymandias, but he did write TLJ.

Saw it today. Very entertaining. As Hank said it's nice to see an original Hollywood movie.

Saw it tonight. My wife and I really enjoyed it. Kind of a throwback to the old Agatha Christie genre. Craig was great.

Saw it last night.

Good movie. Never heard of any of these names. A bunch of B-list actors probly tryin to launch their careers.

Holy shit, Jaime Lee Curtis looks terrible.

Kinda felt like everything centered on 3 characters. The other 6 or 7 were just introduced in the beginning and then were kinda cut out of the movie halfway thru. Thats my gripe about it.

It comes across in previews as a reimagining of the film 'Clue', I take it that's not the case then?

As The Hawk said, it's more in the vein of Agatha Christie. Although, like 'Clue' it does have a little bit of a sense of humor.

Tight screenplay with some genuinely great fakeouts. Namely the fanboy-ish detective who has some really clever dialogue making him look complicit and kind of framing an alternate storyline.

I hate that the screenplay explicitly exonerates certain family members. Kind of undermines the message a bit, but overall great.
