With the "twist" being revealed thirty minutes into this 2 hour movie, you know that can't be true. It's basic reasoning. So that said, the real twist or conclusion won't be exposed until the ending. I'm often terrible at guessing mysteries, but I correctly assumed the guilty party 45min in, as it seemed achingly obvious. Nonetheless, the film wasn't without its little surprises here and there. For the most part way too talky, there were scenes in which I silently begged Daniel Craig's character to shut up; which isn't to say he didn't do a great job, as he in fact was quite amazing. Performance wise. The overcomplicated vocabulary and diction, however, was tiring to hear for nearly two hours, although at least evidence that the acting was on par. Everyone involved excelled, even he or she who I correctly guessed to be guilty early on. My favorites were Don Johnson, Toni Collette, and Chris Evans. I suppose what it comes down to was the convoluted script, a major albeit transient plot hole (wish I could divulge, but alas, no spoilers here), and some very obvious clues that I'm guessing most people missed out on. I found the introduction of characters quite annoying, filmed via overlapping and slightly altered flashbacks that, in hindsight, had no effect on the outcome (or even progression) of the mystery itself. The sets, costuming, locations, and performances were all very laudable. I can't say that I'm a fan of Rian Johnson's work, with the sole exception of Looper (2012), which is easily one of my favorites of all time. So...it is what it is. That so many people enjoyed the movie as much as they did is no surprise.
