This movie I really wanted to see in theaters, but I never really had time to go see it... so I was of corse very excited to get it on Blu Ray the second it came out... and I of corse watched it right away!
This movie centers around a wealthy family who's patriarch Harlan Thromby suddenly dies of a suicide and a Private Investigator named Benoit Blanc (played by Daniel Craig) interrogates the family members. The family members themselves are very interesting- totally a great cast!- and they each kind of have a motive for killing Harlan. Toni Colette plays his daughter in law that's been stealing money from him, Don Johnson plays Harlan's son in law that's been cheating on his daughter- Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon I believe they say wants the movie rights to Thromby's books, Chris Evan's character Ransom just got in a big fight with Harlan and was told he was cut out of the will... as was the rest of the family. He said that he was leaving all of his money to his nurse, Marta... who was probably the only person that cared about him and not about his money.
There were a lot of great little details in this movie and they were all fully utilized in the conclusion of the movie. Every throwaway line had more significance and it all made sense when we find out what's going on in the movie. One of my favorite running jokes is that whenever the family brings up Marta, they say that her family is from a different country... so they don't really know anything about her at all. They also each state "I wanted you at the funeral, but I was outvoted." Which can't be true because then they wouldn't be outvoted... It just really showed that the family didn't really care about her and didn't think much about her I guess at all.
I can't really say anything more about this movie without spoiling it and I definitely don't want to spoil it... I think everyone should watch it for sure. Maybe I'll do a second post on different easter eggs or clues in the movie and I'll give a more spoiler look at it... but for now that is everything! Definitely check this movie out if you're looking for some good movies to rent or buy right now. It's amazing. 5 out of 5 stars!
Bye!
