Rian Johnson is back again with another Daniel Craig detective mystery doing the one thing he can do: subvert expectations with a plot twist a minute. It's actually not a bad movie. Despite having a very similar premise and setup, the characters stay fresh and so too do the details of the plot.

Strong cast, good return performance from Craig. Decent writing, though the convoluted intricacies of the murder mystery, multiple threads, and red herrings seems to trip over itself every now and again. It's decent editing, though nothing groundbreaking. Ending is fine, but does leave a little to be desired. Fun movie to watch, about as good as the first one, but not overly mind-blowing in any way.
