Well, I meanI'd say what makes this movie so unique is that it's not a simple whodunnit. I can't think of a single whodunnit wherewe find out who the "killer" is 30 minutes into the film and we're seeing them try and mess up the detective not only that but the killer being the good guy.
Lots of super out there concepts for a whodunnit.
Well, I mean
technically they didn't reveal who the killer was until the end.
Step 1: ruin Star Wars And get famous
Step 2: make ur own movie
Step 3: ?????
Step 4: profit
That's why I put killer in quotes but that's my point, that makes the whole mystery way more complex than your normal whodunnits. A simple one would've just had Chris Evans being the baddie from the get go.
Minor spoiler for the movie line of the year:
What did the Nazi child masturbating in the bathroom overhear?!?
Ive seen some people get that coffee mug from the film. I dunno if that was the prize though.So what was the prize for having the winning poster they gave away at the previews?
Our posters were dumb loser posters :(
He had the whole report.Incredible fucking movie. Quick question:
How did Ransom deduce from the toxicology report that the medicines hadn't been switched? Wasn't it only the header that was photocopied?

Ah, of course. Thanks!I believe he realized the fuck up when the nurse told her story to him at the restaurant. Since she thought she gave the guy morphine he knew they were flipped and the report would show no overdose.
God. I feel like the last two shots of the movie is one of my favorites in recent memory.
Yes, why?Question for anyone who's seen it:
Does the dying housekeeper still say "Hugh" but Marta mishears it as "You"?
That bit got a hugh laugh.Question for anyone who's seen it:

Oh nice. Gonna turn the 27th into a date with the SO and see this!
I just found that point kinda dumb in the early version I saw, but maybe they changed up how it's delivered.
Rian Johnson is such a fascinating filmmaker in that he makes movies that are really well received, but no one you speak to about them seems to like them.
Liking this more than I already did last night because I half-missed the thematic ironies he was messing around with.
One punchline very near the end that I wish he had done a little more sleight-of-hand for:
Blanco pointing out the blood spot on her shoe. It's neat but he has a big showy shot of it earlier so you're just waiting
for it to drop
—-ohhhhh cute joke Rian—
—anyway, still would have been fun to have a much more subtle shot of it that you catch on a second viewing.
Re: TLJ/Brick/Looper—I liked TLJ but if you Hated What He Did To Star Wars(tm) this is a fairly traditional whodunit, on the archly comedic end of the genre. It's still kind of stylized but waaaayyy less affected than Brick or even Looper.
