Normally I would give this film something like 8, but I'm a bit surprised by the lower rating. This is indeed a gordon bleu and it seems a lot of low rates come from the hot dog munchers. The problem is that you would need to know your classic cinema to understand, let alone enjoy this flick, which parodies several films from yesteryears. If you only watch recent teenage action films, give this one a miss.

It does require to you watch until the end and then rewatch the very beginning that you totally forgot about.

But otherwise it is a decent whodunit.

Madame O. Has an Idina Menzel thing going on through the whole thing.

At one point you realize that this is a film with no positive characters at all, they are all crooked, backstabbing bastards so the viewer actually has no-one to root for. And that's when it becomes fun, because it breaks the 'good guy versus bad guys' routine and the viewer can enjoy these crooked bastards screwing each-other in a bad way, with no bangs of conscience.

Ironically, one previous reviewer laments the degeneration of the western culture, where there is no room for the good. He probably misses the point that this flick is not advocating evil, because these villains all get what they deserve.

A nice little parody with good twists. Too wordy perhaps, but I guess it's an adaptation of a stage play, and there's nothing wrong with stage plays.
