The Agatha Christie murder mystery Crooked House is a classic crime thriller. When her grandfather is poisoned Sophia de Haviland hires her former lover, and private investigator, Charles Hayward to look into the case before the murderer can cover their tracks and it becomes a public scandal. Featuring Christina Hendricks, Glenn Close, and Gillian Anderson, the cast is pretty solid, and newcomer Stefanie Martini gives an especially strong performance. Also, the script does a good job at building intrigue and suspense. Still, there are some pacing issues, and at times the plot can be a bit confusing. Yet while it has some problems, Crooked House is a dark and chilling film.

Fairly intriguing with a suspenseful reveal at the end. Looks of the movie were top notch.

There is no character development whatsoever and at no point was I wondering who did it. Crooked House 2917 is a basic show and tell in movie format that doesn't even bother to make things mysterious and exciting.

Despite the good actors, the direction is not very successful and the main character is a bore.

**A film that manages to entertain its audience, but cannot be called memorable.**

By mere coincidence, I caught this film on TV during these early days of the year, and I took the opportunity to watch it knowing that it was an adaptation of a novel by Agatha Christie. Although I don't consider m More

A bit boring. Wanted to stop watching in the middle because it's so dull. I just continued watching it only to find out who the killer was. Otherwise, I would have stopped watching it.
