Fairly intriguing with a suspenseful reveal at the end. Looks of the movie were top notch.
I had higher expectations for this film, maybe that was my first mistake. The movie building up to the end was very spotty, not really making me feel any sympathy or connection to any of the characters. I was very "ehh" up until the very end of the film. Glenn Close (Lady Edith) definitely made this movie worthwhile. I feel she was the only actor who actually poured themselves into the role. The others seemed to be lost in La La Land somewhere mentally.
The Agatha Christie murder mystery Crooked House is a classic crime thriller. When her grandfather is poisoned Sophia de Haviland hires her former lover, and private investigator, Charles Hayward to look into the case before the murderer can cover their tracks and it becomes a public scandal. Featuring Christina Hendricks, Glenn Close, and Gillian Anderson, the cast is pretty solid, and newcomer Stefanie Martini gives an especially strong performance. Also, the script does a good job at building intrigue and suspense. Still, there are some pacing issues, and at times the plot can be a bit confusing. Yet while it has some problems, Crooked House is a dark and chilling film.
what a dull and slow movie this was. Was expecting some mystery for an Agatha Christie movie - didn't get any. A waste of 115 minutes of my life.
I'm a huge Agatha Christie fan and I've read all the book and try to watch every movie or show connected to them… this movie was just disappointing. I never expect much of movies based on Agatha Christie stories, but this one was just amazingly bad. Bad execution. Acting was not that fine and direction felt weird at times – as did photography. Music and sound effects… let's not talk about them… Altogether felt way too long and we were hoping for the movie to finally end!
