I love a good whodunit and mystery film so I was really looking forward to this film being released but what I did not realise was how brilliant it was going to be.
I'm very unfamiliar with Rian Johnson's previous work besides Star Wars: The Last Jedi (which by the way I didn't think was as bad as people say it is) but he has created one of the best films of this year.
If I had to describe this film in one word, it would be unique. The directing style; unique. The characters; unique. The twists; unique. It's a very unique and one of a kind film that we may never get again. I say that coz this was perfectly cast and just so fun to watch. There are characters who are just so unlikable but that also helps the film work. There's even a piece of scripting about a doughnut that is somehow written so hilariously.
What impressed me further was it twists it's own twists. Daniel Craig plays someone who's supposed to be an amazing investigator but comes across so naive and dumb but ends up showing how brilliant he is. The story seems to reveal the conclusion halfway through the film and ends up revealing not all is it seems. Everything this film does is so clever, so funny and it never ever comes off as unconvincing or forced.
For once I can't even say anything bad about this film. I enjoyed it so much and I couldn't find any bad moments in it. It doesn't over do it with the humour, it doesn't overdo the twists. It keeps the story simple whilst adding in the twists so it doesn't convolute the story.
Overall this is the most fun film of this year. It's fun, cleverly written, has a brilliant cast and is always entertaining. I'd highly recommend this.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
