Crooked House

The most appealing element of a drawing-room mystery is usually the entrances of the characters, where we learn how their eccentricities clash with one another while a detective regards them intrepidly. Crooked House, though, embraces this trope with excruciating monotonousness, spending nearly 40 minutes introducing the spoiled and bitter inhabitants of an English mansion. In scene after scene, Charles Hayward (Max Irons), a private detective, questions a deceased rich businessman’s relatives, who taunt the investigator with suggestions of their complicity in the magnate’s murder. If the suspect is a man, he regards Hayward with hostility, and if she’s a woman, she shoots him come-hither eyes that suggest the possibility for illicit pleasure.
