GLASS ONION is a genre flick. How much you enjoy this movie probably depends on whether or not you are a fan of the mystery genre. The fun of the mystery genre comes from trying to guess whodunit. A crime has been committed (usually a murder), there is a long list of suspects. The suspects are all "types" created with broad strokes that are attractive to star actors because it allows them to chew the scenery before they get bumped off. The audience likes being surprised, especially when a character that you were sure was the culprit, ends up a victim. The sleuth is virtually the only character who has any subtlety. It's fun for actors and fun for mystery fans. The big-budget, all-star mystery has been around at least since the 70s with films like MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, DEATH ON THE NILE, and THE LAST OF SHEILA. This is 2022's entry. In GLASS ONION, a world-famous sleuth (Daniel Craig) shows up for a murder mystery weekend party on a rich man's private island. He is embarrassed to find that his invitation was bogus and someone was playing a joke on the host. The host, however, gushes over him and is flattered that he's there. Hmmm. Who sent that bogus invitation and why? That's the first of many questions that will arise over the course of the film. The other guests are all rich, greedy, and obnoxious. Someone dies. Any of them could have done it. But which one? There are some gimmicks and tricks played on the audience, not to mention a few red herrings thrown on the trail. The cast appears to be having a good time. There are some laughs along the way. This is a good movie for socializing. You know, dinner and a movie? I think this would be a good choice. There's nothing terribly controversial about it and it will give you something to talk about together afterward.
