Smart, witty, and endearingly British.
It’s a whodunit that’s unpredictable without being nonsensical. Blanchett and Fassbender give it gravitas and the supporting cast were appropriately colorful and quirky. Several lines had the Alamo in stitches, even as we approached the big reveal! Focused on the solve, not the stakes, which enhances its re-watchability.
One more Keyser Soze caliber twist may have made it a perfect five, but Soderbergh quit while he was ahead and I can’t fault him for that.
Monogamy isn’t dead!
