  • DIRECTOR: Rian Johnson
  • ACTORS: Daniel Craig, Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, Thomas Haden Church, Jeffrey Wright
  • PLOT: A young priest (O'Connor) under suspicion of several murders, notably including that of a fiery monsignor (Brolin), is aided by the famous Benoit Blanc (Craig).
  • EVALUATION: Even the least of the Benoit Blanc mysteries proves to be plenty entertaining with a few outstanding performances and the occasional big laugh.
  • WRITING: Typical potboiler fare with the interwoven satire that is becoming the hallmark of these movies
  • FILMING: Probably a little less visually remarkable than the previous two installments, but the same scenes viewed from multiple angles continue to be fun
  • BEST PART: When Blanc first shows up, as if in answer to a prayer
  • TRIVIA: They had to use a prosthetic corpse because Josh Brolin was too fit for a monsignor
  • STINGER: Blanc plays the organ loudly
