The death of the head of a rich family triggers an intriguing investigation and unexpected conflicts.
A crime investigation film in the classic style of Agatha Christie or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. With an extraordinary cast, every detail is thought out with great attention and intention, each character is well defined in high level and small details, from gestures and dialogue lines to their style and clothing choices which have quite a strong visual impression, reminiscent in some places of Wes Anderson's style. Each actor carries their part with excellency, giving personality and depth to their character, but Daniel Craig (detective Benoit Blanc) and Ana de Armas (caregiver Marta) are exceptional, skillfully stealing the scene whenever they are on the screen.
The pace is quite alert, the mystery is constant even as parts of the final truth are revealed to you in the middle of the film, with many elements of surprise keeping the viewer's brain in constant wonder, trying to spin theories and possibilities, but without allowing that to become in any way annoying or frustrating. A delight for the fans of the genre.
