Comedy - This is an often darkly comedic murder mystery with a large ensemble cast including a number of familiar faces such as Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Michael Shannon, LaKeith Stanfield, Christopher Plummer, and Don Johnson, but the main character is played by the lesser known Ana de Armas. Nonetheless, fans of all of the stars will have moments to savor here. Language, violence, and adult subject matter make the film not for kids.

Berardinelli, Internet CriticFull Review Very Good Murder mystery lovers are likely to swoon at what Johnson has accomplished in a little over two hours. His skill with plotting is matched only by his knack with dialogue. ...even in a crowd of similar titles, this movie would stand out. It's exceptional escapist entertainment for those who don't mind a little spice sprinkled into their cozy mystery.
Roger EbertFull Review Very Good ...one of the most purely entertaining films in years. It is the work of a cinematic magician, one who keeps you so focused on what the left hand is doing that you miss the right. ...a wildly fun mystery to unravel... Directing a wildly charismatic cast who are all-in on what he's doing...
USA TodayFull Review Very Good Wickedly hilarious and even a little political... ...a lovingly and intricately crafted homage to Johnson's drawing-room predecessors, unleashing a drawling delight and a refreshing throwback vibe for youngsters who've never had the pleasure of watching "Murder, She Wrote."
Rex ReedFull Review Good More of a Comedy Than a Thriller. ...it has a few giggles that in the final 15 minutes turn into guffaws. That comment is not meant as a negative. Intentional or not, this alleged thriller is more of a comedy, and maybe I'm just jaded, but to me, there isn't a genuine thrill in sight.
