The parallel marriage story lines doesn't work - but the whodunnit of the free solo death is entertaining. Make it twins, to boot.

I would give this movie a zero. So the wife conspires to kill her husband with his twin brother. The wife then hires a private detective to expose the twin brothers involvement to his mother who then kills her only son left??? Then instead of arresting the wife for murder, the private detective tells her she is free??? So the message of the movie is a woman can kill her husband and set the wheels in motion to kill his twin and NOTHING happens to her. Sounds like true modern feminism. No accountability, entitlement, and society's rules don't apply to them.

So hard to watch this hallmark like movie.....cheesy and Gordon's BeeGee beard is TOO distracting!

CRECIANT a divergiant series: Tris grows up, marries the psycho twins of Crete then hires a 1940s gumshoe to escape them.

It’s weird because I feel like I would actually like all the people in this movie if I met them, and I want to see them all be successful, but damn, this movie is terrible. But not like terrible, terrible. It’s still entertaining to watch.

Long, slow, dry, predictable, stereotypical private investigator movie. Monologue voiceovers and everything. Really wanted to like it, but had to fight the urge to turn it off by 20 minutes in. 1/2 star simply for the beauty of Greece in the background. The movies only thing it has going for it.

I really like murder mystery movies, but this one was way too predictable. It is not the worst movie ever, it is at best okay. Decent actors, but not much of a script.

The movie had a good story line and plot. It reminded me of one of those old murder mystery movies. If you are a fan of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you will probably like this movie. The movie was a bit slow and predictable. However, there was a nice twist at the end. Overall, I enjoyed the movie.

Wow. This is so bad. Terrible storytelling and terrible acting. Fun to see Greece though.

This movie is ok. I was expecting it to be much worse given the ratings. If you like any of the actors or the classic detective/noir genre then it’s worth a watch.

What a disappointment. Too many cliches, little to no character development and way too predictable. The protagonist is underdeveloped, over-confident and unsympathetic. It lacked in almost every aspect including cinematography which was a shame considering the beauty of the shoot location.

Was looking forward to this film. Loved Madden in "Bodyguard," Gordon-Levitt's proved edgy and versatile in several films; Shalene Woodley has always been a little flat and opaque for me, i.e., serviceable. Adored Clare Holman in Morse sequels (terribly underused here). As soon as the twins were introduced, I assumed a switch, and shortly thereafter, well before mid point, assumed the wife was the "femme fatale." That's to say, despite a gorgeous setting, script was trite, weak, predictable. As for directing, zero pacing, tension, or style. Watch "Mallorca Files" for far more interesting and engaging plot lines and characters. Even find "Madam Blanc" more coluorful.

Simply abysmal. Terrible plot, writing, and directing. Even the actors who are normally worth watching were terrible - can’t blame them given what they had to work with. Don’t waste your time on this

My wife and I enjoyed the movie. Not a bad story with twists and turns filmed in a beautiful setting.

This is a decent enough, made for Prime, murder mystery. Joseph Gordon Levitt is a sleuth with a complicated past that is hired to investigate the "accidental" death of a an identical twin Greek tycoon in Crete. Levitt is always likable, but not sure he has the depth to play the complicated Phillip Marlow type character he plays. The cast is decent, although as a Greek I found several not very deliverable as Greeks. Babou Ceesay, is very good, as the Police Office who believes the death is mysterious but couldn't prove it alone. The Half British-Half Greek family of wealthy fools are a little cliche' but make for the story. Not great but watchable. Crete is amazing and they do a good job displaying it here.

Predictable but not terrible until the final twist. I was happy to give 3+ stars until the writers/director didn’t think the twist through. They missed a great opportunity to wrap the twist up nicely but instead they let it play out by chance, which doesn’t make sense. **Spoiler alert*** at the end, why would the wife let the PI confront the brother who knew she was the accomplice in the initial crime. She hired the PI to incriminate her brother, once she convinced the PI that the brother was the murderer she needed to kill the brother before the PI confronted him so the brother couldn’t tell the whole story. She just got super lucky that the mom shot before the brother said anything about the wife being an accomplice. Seems she went to great lengths to spin this web, why would she give the brother a chance to incriminate her. If the mom didn’t kill the brother he would’ve just been arrested and she goes to jail too. This twist was seen coming from a mile away, but it still would’ve been an ok movie if they executed the plot twist intelligently.

Some hilariously poor neo-noir detective narration that really take you out of it. The script is bad, its like a below average weekly serialized PI plot.

So Killer Heat It was a good movie A new one on Amazon Prime and it had Shailene Woodly who is a born actress in my humble opinion. Well she is also just the most natural beauty I think I've seen I really like he Anyway, even for that fact I was a little hesitant to watch this film because for the title screen photo she is depicted in a red one piece swimsuit with her hands up behind her head putting her hair in a pony tail and I just thought that kind of strange I don't know but the other day when we were trying to work on moving out of the apartment still and I had gotten (..moving and new puppy... Well to shake things off I decided I would just sit down and watch a full length movie and this one just popped up on the streaming list and so I clicked on it. (Long story short) Okay so..... So, there are these two guys who are each trying to figure out this case. One's a police man the other an investigator who's also a drunk because his wife decided and left him well the two of them are trying to enable this girl who hired them to leave her husband in the end, but they aren't knowing that yet, well. thy at least need to get to the bottom of the case for their own sakes. The police officer who really cares about his whole town and community and was really invested in the case but was about to quit because the rest of the police force deemed the case was closed and that the death was an accident due due to it being what it was, And that was death by falling from a cliff, though the man who died was an expert climer. He had been climbing that cliff face since he was a boy with his twin brother. Their dad was the owner of a major shipping, and trade company and he taught them how to climb to prepare them for the cut_throat nature of the business world. The investigation thinks that the girl's husband who was the twin of the guy that died did it somehow because he spoke to him and he seemed better about it. I just want to go into a different part of the plot though, the kind of instant brotherly bond that was developed between the investigator guy who is a drunk and the policeman who is breaking orders by working on the case after it was closed. Both of them are with some internal moral dilemma due to sincere human emotions. The investigator drinks because he's sad that his wife left him with their daughter and the policeman is breaking the rules because he really hates how bad and corrupt this rich mogul family is. I don't know that either guy is completely faultless though. They depict the investigator's wife as being very unhappy in flashback moments. She was talking with other guys on the phone for love since he always seemed pre-occupied with his job to to anything to make her happy and to fix their marriage There's other aspects too, that make the moral dillemma muddled like how she taunts him by going out by herself and looking sexy... creating in him a feeling of jealousy and possessiveness that he admits to actually driving him and making him better at his job . The story behind the policeman is a little more vague, but it is easy to tell I think that even though he cares very much for his citizens that he works to protect that he is not actually a born citizen of those people Though he could be an African refugee and because the people, or that country (it takes place in Greece) gave him opportunity he wants to keep that opportunity available for future immigrants. Also, this mogul family is not all Greek either they are half British, but like to pretend they are full Greek... The father who was Greek died just before the son so the investigator thinks that there is a good chance that the brother killed his own twin for to be the heir to the company Now, on to the "mini plot" .... Killer Heat The Car Scene (before the shootout) The Investigator Nick Bali and the police man George Mensah (Played by Joseph Gordan-Levitt and Babon Creasy) sit in George's car at a big shipping yard at night waiting for a particular boat to arrive that is evidence of something for the case. George's dog sits trustingly in the backseat. The car is not an obvious police car, but more like a classic older car with a sort of vintage look to it. The chance that the boat actually arrives maybe seems second to none because the two men are seemingly not too anxious, or rather to break the ice of anticipation they start to joke about something in a kind of friendly way or in a kind of a dry manner also. Now, I wouldn't have thought much about the deeper meaning of their joking if it wasn't all that I'd felt I was left with to ponder closely at the end of the film. You see, even though there was more than one mystery to solve for the investigator at the end, still, it was more like his mission rather than ours (the viewer). The fact that this movie is much subtler and nuanced that the gratification is not given so easily, but is stretched out and challenged makes it less of a sensation than most murder mystery dramas out there. I would argue that this movie or film is much deeper than what meets the eye... and just like how Shailene Woodley's character, Penelope sent the investigator to stay in a convent proves that this film is about a much wider social and personal moral dillemma. The writer's choice to make this simple scene about two men laughing about something seemingly benign and uncanny, right before a shootout is not just about bringing a more gripping stark contrast to the scenes... It's about I think the moral dillemna between a family of origin when it comes to blood and a chosen family where loyalties lie. Also the joke hints at some kind of linguistic coding to do with the word "yard."

Perhaps if I was trapped in a cinema seat I would have suffered it and seen the ending. But I wasn't, and the first half of the movie was such a dull talk fest I couldn't hack it. The themes were cliché: the broken down PI with a drinking problem, twins as a plot divice... etc,etc. I also thought the script was awful. Every character interaction felt forced and unnatural. It would have been a lot more watchable with a professional script writer at the helm.

Unintelligent, predictable, flawed, boring. A child could have written more interesting dialogue.
