Intrepid detective Benoit Blanc finds himself at a lavish private estate on a Greek island, but how and why he comes to be there is only the first of many puzzles. Blanc soon meets a distinctly disparate group of friends gathering at the invitation of billionaire Miles Bron for their yearly reunion. As in all the best murder mysteries, each person harbors their own secrets, lies and motivations. And when someone turns up dead, everyone is a suspect.

"You peel back the layers like an onion."

A clever movie with solid entertainment value. The story felt fairly fresh for a classic mystery, and it was pleasant that it stood alone rather than forcing sequel references. For such a small group of characters, it was interesting that there was a clear difference in depth. In some parts it felt almost Clue-esq in that the specific characters themselves hardly mattered. A heavy use of flashbacks made for an oddly heavy-handed story telling structure. Ultimately none of this detracted from a fun, smart, and solid showing.
