Director Rian Johnson’s first film since “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” has no Death Star, but it has plenty of death and stars.

Toni Collette. Daniel Craig. Chris Evans. Jamie Lee Curtis. Poisonings. Arson. Stabbings. Slashed throats. This whodunit is an A-list-turned-slay list party.

Meet the Thrombeys, an uber-rich flock of black sheep all mooching off their recently deceased pop, a famous mystery novelist named Harlan (Christopher Plummer). His official cause of death is suicide, but an anonymous tipster summons a famous detective, Benoit Blanc (Craig), believing the truth to be far more sinister.

In Harlan’s enormous, lodge-like manse, Blanc and two policemen get cracking. Everybody is a suspect, since all his freeloading kids want a payday. Enormously entertaining. Who-done-it will keep you guessing. 99% Audience Approval.
