Daniel Craig again stars as detective Benoit Blanc. He shows up at a murder scene at a Catholic Church. He is brought in at the request of the chief of police, Chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis). The priest, Monsignor Wicks (Josh Brolin) has been murdered, and the new assistant priest, Father Duplenticy (Josh O'Connor) is set up to take the fall. But there are many suspects. Wicks had made enemies of most the parish; or driven them off. This includes Martha Delacroix (Glen Close) who has been with the church since being a child, DR. Nat Sharp (Jeremy Renner) the local doctor. Vera Draven (Kerry Washington) a local lawyer. Cy Draven (Daryl McCormack) who turns out to be the Monsignor's illegitimate son. The Monsignor was murdered in a closet off of the chapel where he was drinking some alcohol before delivering his sermon. He collapses and is found with a "devil's blade" in his back. The father was the first to him, and the doctor the second. After they leave, the father returns and removes the Monsignor's flask. This was a vital clue. He removes it to prevent embarrassment for the head priest now that he is dead. The twist in the plot is when the Monsignor resurrects and the priest chases after him, to wake up with the gardner murdered, by him. Duplenticy is about to confess, when Blanc steps in the divulge the truth of what happened. Too much to tell here, and not wanting to divulge the murdered, this movie is a good mystery thriller with a couple of twists.
