Surprisingly different

This has the look and feel of an English “who-done-it”. It is as much the society as it is a mystery. The first quarter of the movie is just introductions to the characters as they approach the manor. Then the discussions start as they are settling in, and the subplots show up but do not overwhelm the main story. If you are trying to guess ahead, forget it. Also, plan for every English cliché. I suggest that you use the closed caption option the first time through, as they mumble a lot, and the background music is louder than the speech track. Don’t be surprised to find that it has ended just as you are getting into it. The DVD extras add a dimension to the movie, as after watching them, you can view the movie without the subtitles. They include the making of.
