We saw it this afternoon.  It was excellent.  Best murder mystery movie or play I've seen in 15 years.

If you like well-acted murder mysteries, this one is excellent.

The wife and I saw it this weekend and really enjoyed it.
Reminded us of one of the Locked Room Mysteries that Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr did so well.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Saw it a second time last night during the cheap movie day.

Everything needed to solve the case is played out in front of the viewer.  The subtle details are amazing.  One of the best screenplays and direction I've seen.  Not a huge movie buff - but to me it was amazing.
