    • Trivia
      Jacob's line "You had sex with my grandpa, you dirty anchor baby!" was improvised by Jaeden Martell, but it was originally lost in the scene since multiple characters were talking and yelling. Michael Shannon noticed this and approached Rian Johnson, telling him that Martell had a killer line, so they made sure to go back and capture it.

    Hated Last Jedi. Loved this.
    As a fan of mysteries (Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, Columbo, Monk, Psych.etc.) I was thrilled to see someone making a classic style whodunnit...and the cast! Figure you can't go wrong. Well I enjoyed it & while the cast all have time to shine it is Daniel Craig with his Southern drawl & especially Ana de Armas that steal the show. For anyone keeping away because they hated The Last Jedi...I agree, it was my least favourite of all the Star Wars films, but this is a well written film that was well acted and I can only hope this will inspire others to reinvigorate the murder mystery genre.

    FAQ22

    • Is there significance in Blanc's use of pressing the piano key? Is it to just get the attention of the family member being interviewed? Or is he doing it specifically when they've said something important?
    • Is the character name Harlan Thrombey an homage to the Choose Your Own Adventure book "Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey?"?
    • Just what did the note say at the end of the movie. Something about ....
