Good but not great. As soon as Harlan's death happened in the first half hour, it was immediately obvious what the plot twist was going to be. He actually basically spells it out for us when he is bluntly discussing with Marta what would happen "if someone were to switch the vials." That was fine by me as I was hoping there would be more layers of mystery that added on and proved me wrong but apparently this movie wasn't expecting too much of its audience's intelligence as the fact that the medicine had already been switched was apparently the whole reveal. Even the identity of the murderer became immediately apparent once the character got some screen time.
I wouldn't exactly call it a "web of lies" so much as a bunch of small, inconsequential lies that didn't really have anything to do with the ending. The majority of the characters were just props and basically none were utilized for anything other than the initial interviews. Maybe I'm missing something but there are far cleverer movies than this one and overall this is just Daniel Craig talking in an annoying Southern drawl for two hours with little else happening.
