The story simply revolves around a murder case. A murdered person and a group of people suspected of having killed this person because each one of them has an interest in the death of this person. The movie is about who was dead, and why was he killed?
One of the strengths of the film is often this type of film, and these kinds of stories that contain mysteries and crimes that are based on old novels, but this story in this film is explicitly written for cinemas. So whose implementation was far from the traditional methods completely. One of the film's strengths is it’s theatrical aspect from the beginning, how it was filmed, the music, how the characters were placed and arranged, and watching a theatrical performance. The most characteristic of this theatrical performance is the way the characters present. Each character whose first appearance is during the investigation with the police, we get to know the details of each their names, ther identity and relationship with the victim, but the beauty is after we get to know the second character and know her identity as well as relationship with the victim. we begin to doubt the information that the last person said in the investigation. With more than one character and more than one investigation, contradictions will appear. Here the question arises from the killer, and this is one of the most enjoyable things in this type of film and this type of story. Because the viewer begins to exercise the investigator's role and tries to figure out the real killer. Still, in this film specifically, it will be difficult to guess the real killer.
Another strength in this film is that the cast, who were strong and varied; beginning with Daniel Craig, who played the role of investigator. I think that Daniel entered this movie with one goal for the audience to forget the character of James Bond because he presented a completely different performance from James Bond. Starting with the style of his dialogue, accent, and sarcasm. In character, entirely opposite of James Bond, he gave us a different character in a beautiful and fun style. Another actor, Chris Evans, also known for his role as Captain America, presented a completely different character from the serious character in Captain America. Toni Collette always strives to provide different roles, despite her short role in this film, but it was fun. The heroine of this film is a young actress whose acting was beautiful and convincing, and she is the focus of the story and was present in most of the film's scenes. Away from the murder itself and far from the investigation and the killer, this film gave us a social fabric template; dialogue sarcastically and sarcastically shows us various social aspects in America with beautiful indications. Weaknesses or shortcomings of the film, the story revolves around the main heroine, who is the backbone of the film and took many scenes, although The presence of a large representative crew, but what was exploited did not delve into the other characters. On the other hand, the film lacked the investigative aspects typical of crime and mystery films. The scenes live with the main character and her words about other characters more than he lives with the investigator and his conclusions. In general, the film is impressive. The dramatic aspects, the aspects of irony, and the comedy are all related to each other with a different, original story that has never been shown in the cinema.
