8/10
A thorough mess for an innocent idiot to cope with
16 December 2018
This is a criminal comedy the intrigue of which constantly gets more complicated as it keeps tying itself up in knots all the time. There are some reminiscences of "The Shining", it's the same kind of desert lonely hotel with a gloomy mystery hanging over it, but fortunately there is no horror here without laughter. As the characters keep turning up more and more to complicate the plot, there are also more and more ludicrous and deliciously surprising twists and turns to the tale, and some idiots add to the stew, especially the main character, the writer who arrives there to be able to write in peace which is the last thing he will find here, and who commits the greatest blunder of all. There are some crooks also, this is very fishy business, and a lot of money constantly changing hands, but also a beautiful secretary. You will not be disappointed but thoroughly entertained, as long as it lasts.
