12.27.22Internet This was gonna be half of a loose "new shit I want to see" double feature but I started it too late. In any case, let's see what I thought about this.

It was decent. I liked the first one more, but that's to be expected. Playing with the form of the whodunit mystery worked the first time but it's hard to hit the same nail on the head multiple times and have each hit be just as impactful... or something. I think I chose a poor metaphor there. In any case, I thought this one was missing a grounding in reality that the first had. It feels more like a game right from the outset.

That said, I still had a good time with it. It was fun to watch, well done, not a waste of time or anything like that. These types of movies with large ensemble casts where they get to play off of each other are fun! Its just following a bit of a formula set by the first film is all.
