THE BEST – The Opening Credits
The swanky, voguish opening establishes the trendy characters of this whodunit in a stylish and efficient manner. While there are many great moments to follow, this opening may be the highlight of the movie.
THE WORST – The Inspector is Always a Step Slow
After a lifeless body drops to the floor, you know it’s time for the inspector to show up. His investigation is not exactly proactive.
