Glass onion is the sequel to one of the best detective mystery movies of recent times. And it certainly misses the predecessor's quality by some distance.

A billionaire steals ideas to build an empire. And now his life is in danger as he has invited his mistrustful friends to a remote island. The setup of the movie is decent; the mystery is not really baffling, and, well, there is detective Blanc being detective Blanc. Most of the characters are just loud caricatures and never seem well developed. But this is the first half.

The second one is the real letdown. The plot moves in the direction of social commentary. And there is a lot of commentary on contemporary topics, but the mystery gets dissolved in the verbose chaos. But if you were astute, you may have realised there was never any mystery at all. The climax is another typical good-versus-bad fight without any deductive knockout punches.
