My wife and I saw it. I was disappointed. Some of the reviews talked it up to being like Clue (which I really liked) but it felt more like a mystery on rails, with the audience just along for the ride and not engaging with it.

I like Daniel Craig, but I felt his accent in the movie reminded me too much of the southern Kevin Spacey accident. Couldn’t quite get past that as it just irritated me throughout the movie. Like he was laying it on too thick.

The illegal immigrant part annoyed me a little. I think it was unnecessary to frame the character as having a hard time. I think it would have been more effective to have her have a blue collar family, maybe with a parent who has passed, who is facing mounting bills/eviction but who has been working hard and playing by the rules. Especially if the rich family was regularly putting down the working class.

It could have been funnier too... seemed that every character was unlikable, unlike Clue.
