1. Knives Out (2019)

Harlan Thrombey, a rich and very famous mystery author, is found dead in his study and each and every member of his twisted selfish family is a suspect. Detective Benoit Blanc is hired by someone to investigate the crime. As the story proceeds, it all takes a different turn. Did Harlan kill himself? Or did someone want him dead? This movie is a terrific example of a classic whodunit with a modern twist.

2. The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo (2011)

A reporter with nothing to lose teams up with a weird but genius hacker to investigate a 40-year-old murder case. The gut-wrenchingly twisted Vanger family raises suspicion and oozes mystery during every second of the movie. What is the actual mystery in this movie? You won’t know until you watch it.

3. Murder on the Orient Express (2017)

A billionaire is killed on a trip on the very elegant Orient Express where Agatha Christie’s incredible character, Hercule Poirot, happens to be on board. Everyone else on the train is a suspect. But what’s the real motive? Is the victim worthy of any condolences? Is it a tale of redemption or revenge?

4. Murder Mystery (2019)

A failed New York detective and his wife go on a European Vacation to reignite the spark in their marriage. On the plane, they come across a chance to spend their time on a yacht, which leads to them being framed for the murder of an elderly billionaire. This movie is hilarious and the chemistry between Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston is to die for. If you haven’t watched it already, you’re missing out on some major fun.

5. Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes always leads to some of the best whodunits out there. This movie is the much needed excitement we all need in our lives.

The movie is so worth the time, I mean who wouldn’t want to watch Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock?

6. The Girl on the Train (2016)

Rachel Watson catches daily glimpses of a seemingly perfect couple, Scott and Megan, from her window of her train. Suddenly, Megan goes missing and Rachel seems to not remember something crucial. Unable to trust her own memory because of the claims of her ex-husband, the troubled Rachel begins her own investigation. Who is to blame? Emily Blunt does a great job portraying Rachel, but can we really believe what she has to say?

7. Gone Girl (2014)

A husband is the prime suspect of his wife’s disappearance and apparent murder, but things are definitely not what they appear to be. There are multiple jaw dropping twists throughout the story, the start will have you hooked and the ending will shock you.

8. Seven (1995)

A serial killer starts a seven deadly sins-themed murder spree and two detectives have to try and solve the case before he strikes again. Although Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are great reasons to watch this movie, the plot doesn’t disappoint at all.

9. A Simple Favor (2018)

Two complete opposite mothers become friends, then one goes missing. The other mother begins the search to find her, all the while updating her vlog’s viewers about her findings and when the identity and the intentions of Blake Lively’s character are revealed, all of us are left in shock.

The post 10 Murder Mystery Movies To Marathon appeared first on The Nerd Daily.

Seeing both Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston again on screen was so fun since both of them both starred together in the 2011 film, Just Go With It. Now they star in yet another vacation themed Netflix Original movie, Murder Mystery, and it was an enjoyable movie to watch!

Murder Mystery follows a couple who are celebrating their anniversary by going on a vacation in Europe. However, couple gets a chance to go on a yacht thanks to millionaire Malcolm Quince’s nephew, Charles Cavendish (Luke Evans). After Malcolm Quince is murdered, the couple are involved in the crime.

Firstly, Murder Mystery might be one of the best movies that Adam Sandler has been a part of and it worked surprisingly well even though it is from Happy Madison productions. Sandler, in terms of comedy, seems to be more fresh for today’s younger audience and his humour never gets old! It’s slightly different compared to the other projects he has done previously with his character being more relatable for the audience, especially with his character (Nick Spitz) being either mainly tired or hungry, which we all can definitely relate to.

Something that felt weak in Murder Mystery, it was supporting cast and secondary characters. Although they did serve a purpose in the story, it just didn’t feel enough. None of them were entertaining and none of their characters were appealing. Another issue with this movie is the pacing. It took too long for the real action to occur. It seemed as though it wasn’t balanced out right with the comedic and crime aspect of the film. It seemed too slow paced just for a crime/comedy type of movie and then only getting to the huge action/big reveal in the last 20 minutes.

But something that was appreciated was in this movie that it wasn’t hard to keep up. Throughout the movie, it was understandable and made sense. Usually something mystery related has some plot holes, but this movie didn’t. Another thing that was appreciated, was this movie wasn’t predictable. When figuring out who was the murderer, it was not easy. This movie was the type of movie that leaves little to no evidence throughout the movie just to keep you watching. Until near the end, all the evidence was revealed followed by the murderer. But once the murderer was revealed, it still wasn’t the murderer! It turned out it was somebody else! With this movie, there were many possibilities and little details. This led to multiple framings and caused the audience to have multiple predictions. It will not disappoint the audience at all if they’re into mystery stories!

Lastly, what was appreciated in this movie was the chemistry between Aniston and Sandler. Both are great actors who are well known in the industry for decades already. Both did a great job as characters in this film, but also as a couple, it felt relatable and hilarious at the same time!

This movie surprisingly wasn’t overly cheesy, corny, or cliche. This was unexpectedly unpredictable and satisfying. Although this film does have a couple of minor flaws. This film was not a disappointment. Murder Mystery was actually one of the films that was well made through a Netflix Original and perhaps worth your time!
