I usually don't go into movies having watched the trailer. So just based on the synopsis alone, I thought this would be an intricate murder mystery.

Considering the cast and David O Russell, I hoped it would be a stellar addition to this saturated genre.

However, the plot was mediocre at best. Lots of backstories shown at the wrong time and sometimes lasting 20 minutes even forgetting where we actually were in the present.

The pacing wasn't slow but it still felt like a long movie.

And in the end, the whole movie hanged on one word "Fascism". Yes the deadly political movement that is yet again very popular in movies nowadays.

So basically a Murder Mystery that ends up with Fascism. Talk about rinse and repeat.

Also, did anyone else notice that Anya-Taylor Joy played the exact character in Peaky Blinders to a tee.

Overall, I'll probably forget this movie in a month or 2.

So first of all, I want to say that this show is slowly creeping up my favorite shows ever. Extremely well-written, acted, and directed.

However, with this episode, I wanted to ask a few questions:

1.) I will reiterate the points of other reviewers how there is literally little to no security for such a high profile event as well as rich individuals such as themselves.

2.) HOW did Ben figure everything out? From Ruth's dad being murdered by Wendy to their business partner in Chicago. He said he figured everything out. How?? In the space of a few hours he knew everything from A to Z. This guy should be the head of the FBI with his skills. This completely threw me off the rest of the episode. It just felt like the writers wanted to speed things up to get to the climax.

Amazing writing till this point. Still extremely intrigued to what is to come.
