A whirlwind of fun and capers in the style of Clue and House of Games. But there’s just enough acid wit thrown in to make a point about class politics, too, giving this film an edge on its predecessors. And then there’s Daniel Craig, sporting a completely ridiculous Louisiana accent and having the time of his life. Benoit Blanc is 100% worthy of syndication.
