CROOKED HOUSE (Theatrical Release USA 2017)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

Crooked House performs as an average in-house mystery with a see-through ending and serves the crowd who is looking for an easy-on-the-mind, can do something else while watching and still get the gist of the film. The small twist at the end of the story is not a 'WOW! I didn’t see that coming' and contributes to the film’s generally average presentation.
