Incredibly underrated. Up there with very good whodunnit mysteries
Siskoid
I was absolutely not surprised to find out post-watch that Rian Johnson listed The Last of Sheila as an inspiration for Glass Onion, as I watched it because the premise sounded like 70s Knives Out (but yes, closer to its sequel). A great cast (Dyan Cannon nevertheless steals the show with her boisterous character) playing rich a-holes, a sadistic host (James Coburn), a murder mystery, lots of twists and turns… A year ago, Coburn's wife was killed in a hit-and-run. To commemorate the event, he's invited his friends - all Hollywood people, lending a metatextual quality to the dialog - to play a sort of mystery/scavenger hunt during a Mediterranean cruise. Perhaps to uncover/expose who killed his wife? That alone would have been a great premise, but the movie - written by the unlikely team of Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkins???? - doesn't rest on its laurels at any point, but rather takes a left turn as soon as the audience thinks it's got the next story beat figured out. Highly entertaining.
