This was fun! I just accepted there was no point actually trying to figure out who did what, since that’s usually so dissatisfying (whether I’m right or wrong), and enjoyed watching the movie work.

The closest I’ve ever been to the genre is reading Hardy Boys when I was little, so I can’t comment on overall genre subversion, but the little touches seemed perfect. I kept waiting for every character to comment on Daniel Craig’s accent, but instead we get just one tiny lampshade hung on it and it’s a genuine laugh.

The only mystery for me is whether the malaproper's mispronunciation of Gillian Flynn was intentional. It fits with the character, but was left out of the flashback and isn't called out in the script or by the character bothered by the malapropisms.
