Benoit Blanc finds himself in yet another mystery that, much like an onion, has many layers. While several mysteries are introduced early in the film, murder is introduced surprisingly late. While Ed Norton's Elon Musk-like character is entertaining, some of his excesses make this film seem less tethered to reality and plausibility than its predecessor did. Hopefully Benoit Blanc will have more cinematic mysteries, but Rian Johnson would be wise to curtail some of the excesses of this film in future installments. The proceedings are entertaining, and with so many mysteries at work, at least some should keep audiences guessing right up to the end of the film.
