Johnson has an exceptional vision for his series detective, but we as the audience must find value in the importance of the detective's presence just as much as we need the climax to make sense. The mystery genre gets harder and harder to tackle, especially the whodunnit setup, seeing how many great twists and ideas have already been used. The symbolism behind the Glass Onion is a suitable scapegoat for the unfolding of this particular story, but if the audience's top 3 possible predictions of who the bad guy is proved right within the first 30 minutes of the film, then I would see it as a fail. However, the witty screenplay, the boldness of Craig and Norton's characters, and the overall style of the film save this one from shattering destruction. I look forward to the next installment. Rian Johnson is a fine filmmaker. Also poses the question to us, why doesn't Norton get more lead roles such as this one?
