It potential for being a really good movie! But sadly it isn't. The characters are very "black & white" no one has a layered personality, they are all just how they seem at first. Everyone are uppermost unpleasant people, except the old lady and the helpers ofc.
But now the real deal breaker: no even halfway through the movie you know who the killer is. I mean ofc. It is not the kind main character who it is supposed to look like it is. The police tells what happened through the night of the murder, the young Martha hears the dogs 03:00, when Hugh comes back at the day of the testimony opening, they go wild again. I mean if that isn't a giveaway I don't know what is. And if you didn't get there they make it completely obvious with the grandmother who says "is you again Hugh. Well she uses his second name, but can't remember it right now. When the detective at the end reveals what really happened it sure is a good and unusual thing that happened, but when you already know so early in the movie who it was, you just feel like the hour and a half in-between are wasted time. The actors and especially the main role where REALLY good actors, but if the movie is that poorly written they can only do so much. The "funny scenes" were also just to planned, you could feel the punchlines coming from miles away, before they even happened cause they just weren't that clever, and felt really unnatural.
In the defense of the movie, it maybe just ruined it a little cause I saw it in German dub. I plan to see the movie again in English and with a friend who hasn't seen it, to see how they feel about it. And then I will revisit, and update my critic.

Everything is beautiful in this movie. No mistakes. Solid movie, family relations revealing themselves while a murder mystery is unfolding. Although the exact guitly party is not toaly evident the way movie unfolded is pretty clear but worth watching if you can live with Daniel Craig speaking in a southern American accent, I can't for the life of me understand why he wasn't a british guy since his background doesen't have anything to do with the plot.
