Warning: Spoilers
. . . as for some reason THE CASINO MURDER CASE shares its #646 rating number with something called MOLLY MOO-COW AND THE BUTTERFLIES. (I must confess that while I viewed every minute of THE CASINO MURDER CASE, I've never had the privilege of seeing MOLLY MOO-COW AND THE BUTTERFLIES, at least as far as I can remember.) THE CASINO MURDER CASE begins with wanton art vandalism involving the intentional destruction of a fragile collectible and graduates to doctored water murdering people right and right. This plot probably sounds familiar to you, because it recently made Real Life headlines. Like the fiasco in Flint, there turns out to be TWO toxic agents at work during THE CASINO MURDER CASE. However, viewers need not worry that this film is as political as Flint's Sad Saga, since the movie fatalities are NOT Poor People, and their demise does not involve a self-proclaimed "Businessman Bean Counter Governor," Emergency Managers, or top state health officials trying to hide a man-made epidemic coming out of public water taps as the Death Toll continues to rise. (Some of the middle managers are facing criminal trials right now, but the masterminds are getting off as Scot Free as a Saudi Prince.) Rather than lead and Legionnaire's Disease, the suspect agents in THE CASINO MURDER CASE turn out to be "Heavy Water" and purposely tainted Eye Wash, though crass mercenary considerations are as much of a motive here as they'd later prove to be in Flint. However, in These Trouble Times, perhaps MOLLY MOO-COW AND THE BUTTERFLIES would be a more soothing watch then THE CASINO MURDER CASE.
