A good movie is supposed to savor in our thoughts, like a good wine ages to perfection. This film only got more rotten the more its plot and characters visited me after the initial viewing.

Some characters were only there for representation and served no real purpose to the plot. I think they have duped us as an audience, conned into thinking we like something that is actually trash with a mediocre plot. The great detective solved the case by realizing how stupid the killer was.

Maybe that's just the way of the filmmakers thinking that we are stupid as an audience and we are stupid enough to fall for this stupidity.
