The movie starts with an hour of scene-setting, and the flashy expensive settings and special effects are very impressive. But after the effects of these wore off, I still wasn't sure what the relationship was between the super-rich guy and his invited friends. I also couldn't work out what they all did, and how their livelihoods appeared to depend on his business empire. This was partly due to the usual mumbled dialogue and the use of hip slang which I guess I'm too old to understand. And the denouement of the rich guy's "game" didn't make much sense.

Daniel Craig is a good actor, but his Southern US accent never sounded natural. I kept remembering that he grew up on the Wirral peninsula in north-west England, about as far from the southern states as you can get. There also seemed to be a gaping plot line for his character. He said that he had received his invitation to the super-rich guy's island after solving the "childish puzzles" set by a box he had received. But later on it was clear that he had only seen this box after it had been destroyed with a hammer by one of the other characters. At that point, I began to lose faith in the whole thing. In fact, more and more I got the impression that the actors didn't really understand what was going on either, and like me had lost interest.

I persisted for about an hour or so (seemed longer), but then reached the point where I really didn't care "whodunnit", and regretfully hit the exit button. I would describe this as a flashy, on trend movie for Generation Z, good to look at but not one for those of us who want tight plot lines or convincing acting.
