Ellie - ★★★★★

'The movie is a really good one to watch, it's basically a live game of Cluedo. The movie keeps you on your toes and guessing everything, I would totally recommend you watch this movie.'

Daniel Craig turns up in another crime comedy ensemble in Logan Lucky. Another oddball detective comedy came in the '80s film Turner & Hooch where Tom Hanks was teamed up with a dog. Meanwhile Matchstick Men has a similar crime comedy caper with a quirky lead and a few twists here and there.

Meanwhile there's a more somber drama in The Father, a devastating portrayal of an older man coming to terms with his illness with his daughter.

There's a spot of deception going on in the comedy drama The Truman Show.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a very funny crime comedy series with a quirky lead detective. Meanwhile check out another quirky detective with Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
