About the film
Hell, any of them could have done it.
What it’s about
Harlan Thrombey, a celebrated crime novelist, is found dead at his estate the morning after his 85th birthday. Detective Benoit Blanc is hired anonymously to investigate. The family members, all present the night before, give conflicting accounts of their relationships with Harlan. Blanc discovers that Harlan's nurse, Marta Cabrera, has a peculiar condition: she cannot lie without becoming physically ill. This makes her an invaluable witness, but also places her at the center of suspicion as secrets surface.
What hooks you
Daniel Craig plays the debonair detective Benoit Blanc, while Chris Evans appears as Ransom Drysdale and Ana de Armas as Marta Cabrera. Directed by Rian Johnson, the film is set in a Massachusetts mansion where the family's greed and deceptions are gradually exposed.
Who it’s for
It suits viewers who enjoy a classic whodunit with a modern twist, where the puzzle is as important as the characters. It will appeal to those who like sharp dialogue, unexpected turns, and a detective who is both eccentric and brilliant.
