A Sequel to Justice League Dark (2017) involving Jack Kirby’s New Gods.

I had woken up a bit early on Saturday. It was too early and I could not get back to sleep. Decided to watch this instead. I had read the Elseworlds comic a few year back and this was a good adaptation of that. I really wish the DC would start developing their Elseworlds line as movies.

Superman: Red Son from IMDb

What if baby Kal-El’s rocket landed, not in Kansas, but in the Soviet Union? That is the premise of this Elseworld’s tale from DC Comics.

It has a while since there was a good old whodunit movie. I think the last one I saw was Branaugh’s Murder on the Orient Express.

By telling us who the murderer was much earlier in the movie, I was wondering how the rest of the movie was going to pan out. Rian Johnson did a damned amazing show of keeping the audience guessing knowing very well that they already knew what was going on. Though I had pretty much guessed who the real murderer was, the foreshadowing helped me a lot though ๐Ÿ™‚.

The casting was perfect. The house where the story takes place was amazing and the Knives backdrop was superb visuals.
