Intriguing.

Accurate choice for an enjoyable murder mystery story, set in 19th century London, with a great gothic aesthetic, with its natural mystery elements such as the dark streets where murder is bound to occur and shady characters whom are all worthy of being suspects. Bill Nighy and Olivia Cooke deliver notable performances along with Douglas Booth's interesting portrayal of Dan Leno, a renowned music hall comedian. Quickly the situation turns into a whodunnit, as we are in front of a murder, with evidence of it being linked to unthinkable suspects. So the investigation begins and it takes us to places we want to go along, with some viewers quickly guessing the culprit, it is still fun to see where the destination is headed. That is one of the best things about this film, that is greatly captivating and intriguing in its tale.

Unfortunately, this film didn't manage to find an audience, hence the low amount of ratings it has here on , so it flew under the radar. Nonetheless, it's appealing enough to give it a fair chance.
