We’re not saying the entire whodunnit resurgence can be laid squarely at the feet of Rian Johnson’s Knives Out duology, especially when Kenneth Branagh’s Hercule Poirot was out of the gate first, but it definitely played a huge part. Wearing its inspirations a little too heavily on its sleeve, Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders is little more than a pale imitation.
Helmed by journeyman director Sean McNamara, the plot finds a family reunion becoming ground zero for a murder mystery when the Betts clan discover they’re trapped inside their palatial mansion and forced into a deadly game of survival where there can only be one winner.
