When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is found dead at his

Craig) is mysteriously enlisted to investigate. From Harlan's dysfunctional family to his devoted
staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind
Harlan's untimely death. Written by Lionsgate

Trivia
The board game that Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) and Marta Cabrera (Ana de
Armas) are playing is called Go. Go is an abstract strategy board game for two players in
which the aim is to surround more territory than the opponent. The game was invented in
China more than 2,500 years ago. See more »

Goofs
If the police or Blanc had bothered to read the last entry Harlan made in his notebook, they
would have saved themselves a lot of investigatory effort. The entry was about the exact
method of murder involved with the case. See more »

Bravo!
8 December 2019 | by kamalhasnaa – See all my reviews

Nothing was typical about this. Everything was beautifully done in this movie, the story, the
flow, the scenario, everything. I highly recommend it for mystery lovers, for anyone who wants
to watch a good movie!

Frequently Asked Questions

 Q: How did Marta get the blood spot on her shoe? She was outside of the room when
Harlan killed himself?

Q: Is there significance in Blanc's use of pressing the piano key? Is it to just get the
attention of the family member being interviewed? Or is he doing it specifically when
they've said something important?

Q: Is there a missing scene in which the family 'votes' on Marta being invited to the
funeral. Multiple family members mention that "they were on her side, but out voted by
the family"?
