My quick rating - 7.7/10. Well, not often a flick like this gets so much hype, so I had to check it out. I would've anyway, but truth is, this was a darn good movie. I have to say the whodunits are always fun, and this one might be a bit lacking in the whole mystery (at least to me it was) but it still kept a bit of guessing going on, in a fun sort of way. The cast is superb and a great job was done in choosing them. The choreography was quite nice for a limited amount of space that was used along with some good camera work as well to keep the audience involved. Worth the price of admission.
