I read the mixed reviews and didn't have high expectations for content, thinking this would solely be a cast driven experience. There were so many delicious layers of historic and cautionary references to our current social and political environment. The detective story was a clever way to tell the story of the sinister work of power and control that continues to lurk behind the scenes influencing and impacting our very existence. I loved the subtle way the story and messages unfolded. While the dialogue didn't always live up to the story, the actors and quirkiness of the film were engaging enough. The array of actors were the hook.
