Before I eternally go on and on heaping praises on this
movie I think I should actually review it. Firstly, there’s a star studded and
well-grounded cast comprising of actors like Ana de Armas, Chris Evans, Daniel
Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lakeith Stanfield and so on, and they deliver with
excellent individual performances. Although there had been few critics of
Daniel Craig’s change in accent which I personally liked and I think fit his
role. The supporting cast also do well, I think Noah Segan had one of the best
performances in the movie.
The major aspect of every movie is always the plot, Rian
Johnson did a great job with the script. This “Whodunit?” movie actually keeps
you interested, from the beginning the cause of death is shown which also acts as a
mirage and at the end everything is shown from a different angle. There’s
always that feeling where you don’t want the person who caused the death to get
caught because it was actually an accident and it also gives you that
satisfying ending. We also got to see an actor who is always good and selfless
in his recurring role in aca franchise seem good but end up being the bad
guy, don’t want to say who but you have two options to choose from.
Finally, I don’t think everything great about this movie can be talked about in a short review. It’s just one of those movies where you just have to see for yourself. It is thoroughly engaging the acting, script, production are top quality. It’s no surprise it won an Oscar and I’ll be on the lookout for more Rian Johnson movies. It is easily one of the best movies in recent times and commercially it also did excellently well, no less than it deserved
