Stonekeeper's Winter Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #262: What the Heck Rhymes with Two?! [LauraGrace goes face to face w/WELCOME TO THE PUNCH]


I know it sounds, far-fetched, but I saw a movie recently. See if you can guess it based on the rules:

So you guys like to play games? Here is an investigation game that can be time consuming but it's lots of fun. Basically, I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guys are going to guess, I will give a hint that CONNECTS your guess with the movie I have in mind.

Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve a love triangle.

- The winner can either start a new game or say "pass". In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another one.
- After 12 hints, the point goes to the OP and he/she gets to start another one.
- Movie must have at least 3500 votes on IMDb.

Let's get it on!

LauraGrace holds onto third place with the winning answer, Welcome to the Punch (2013), a familiarly plotted yet nevertheless energetic British crime thriller with a cavalcade of top acting talent.

Five electrifying minutes does not a good movie make.

I liked it.

Fair, fair. I found it too obtuse and gimmicky while omitting the most intriguing parts of the novel.

Did Jesus worry about being hinted?

As the sound of the hint faded, the despair set in.
