The same movie where cap is mature enough to write an apology letter and gives Tony a phone with an emergency line just in case, a phone Bruce Banner latwer uses during Thanos’ invasion of earth?
Whats so classic in this scene w Ransom is how he calls Marta, "Vicious little b*tch." Yet despite following Harlan's orders to avoid being suspected in an accidental overdose (which turned out not to be), after the will was read and everything left to her, and essentially trying to do the right thing by saving Fran's life after she got dosed and would lose everything, it's then official that the whole family, who at first thinks is just the hardest-working person there is, looking out for their patriarch, Harlan, do an instant 180 and just think she's been a "gold-digging, anchor-baby, lazy, useless, conniving whore", as they now had no power over her at all. It's amazing the amount of psychological projection shown here is big enough to fill an IMAX screen.
another small hint i really like that shows none of them really cared about Marta at all was them naming 4 different south american countries that she’s from. one says ecuador, another says paraguay, ransom says brazil, and there’s one more that i’m forgetting, but it just goes to show that they never bothered to get to know her at all
Fun Fact. Attempted first degree murder still carries a life sentence and could carry the death penalty depending on the state and other aggravating factors so his statement about being out in no time was pretty inaccurate.
@r.k845 No, not completely right. This is why we still have laws pertaining to what can be bought out of using bail. Sure, he can buy a lawyer to help get rid of and/negate his charges, but he'll be doing so from a jail cell until the matter is decided.
"What do you have against me, huh? What attempted murder? I get arson for the building and a few other charges. With a good lawyer, which I have, I'll be out in no time" Um, Ransom. You do know that attempted murder will get you in jail for quite a while, even with a good lawyer
The good lawyer is paid to get the evidence of that attempted murder thrown out of court. So he’d only go to jail for attempted murder IF the state could prove the case and convince the jury to convict.

That was the one thing I didn't quite understand -- Ransom's cockiness about "only" facing charges of attempted murder and arson. I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty attempted murder still carries a heavy sentence. Add in arson, conspiracy, probably obstruction of justice, possibly mail fraud when he dropped off the note in Marta's mail slot, oh and possibly manslaughter as his tampering with Harlan's medications (which I think may be a federal crime) directly led to his death. Add in the cocky confessions in front of a detective and two police officers who will all definitely testify in any trial. That seems like at least 20 years imprisonment and if a judge made the sentences consecutive, then Ransom likely dies in jail. Again, not a lawyer, just an armchair fan of the movie who was wondering if I was wrong to conclude that Ransom's initial cockiness was warranted (obviously rendered moot by the end of this scene).
There's virtually no evidence for anything that Ransom is accused of, and they'd need a confession for anything at all to stick. Kinda dumb that he'd even say anything. Someone as smart as him would probably just go "Lawyer" and walk.
Not a lawyer but everything is speculative even with a testimony. He could plead guilty and get a reduced sentence or even could defend under an insanity case (maybe emotional distress with his confession) and probably only do like 5-10 years, if that with a good lawyer & dependent on the laws per the state they try the case in. Fran dying is the key to everything, attempted murder vs 1st degree murder(even if negligent murder).
True but there’s other mitigating factors: a lawyer getting a judge known for bribery, judges who can take a payoff, jurors who can take a payoff, evidence that goes missing cuz a guard took a payoff, witnesses disappearing etc.
@@boringperson-zb8vyYep, going to the theater watching this as an emetophobic was wild and I'm sure a few alongside me learned they had the same phobia that day
2:38 - Even a bad detective knows the difference between jail and prison! It is prison Hugh is going to. A jail is a place you go when you are arrested, and held. Usually in a police station. A prison is an entire facility devoted to the long-term detention of convicted criminals.
When you’re about to die and you have to choose you’re words carefully, you’re not gonna say “Hugh did this, Hugh won’t get away with it.” You’ll probably say “It was Hugh” or smth like that
Weird, it’s almost like this is a Hollywood movie that needs to prioritize story beats over satisfying idiots who, for some reason, require fiction to perfectly mirror reality Sit down, nobody is giving out cookies today.
whilst it is meant to just be "for the misdirection" to Fran's credit. She did have like a lethal dose of morphine in her body. That might fuck with you a bit
@@mc-rn8ro It's not about mirroring reality, it's about verisimilitude. If the audience sees the heavy hand of the writer, the writer has failed. Idiots aren't the ones asking for fiction writers to be better at their craft.
But I will never understand why people are like, "Oh, yeah. I know something that will get this person in jail for a li=ong time so let me meet with them in a dark unpopulated place where no one will find me if they kill me"
SPOILERS FOR GLASS ONION: But I love that the characterization of the villain stays so consistent. Ransom is an asshole. It plays into his plan and ends up getting him caught in some way. Miles Bron is an idiot. It plays into his plan and ultimately gets him found out also.
@@Cloak1972 They sort of did, I can't remember whether they de-arrested him just before Marta was about to confess to the family. Still, police procedure does require questioning under a Miranda warning (or a caution if you are in the UK). This would make every single movie and TV show of this type unrealistic. Surely we can suspend our disbeliefs, considering this is not real life?
He was likely routinely mirandized when he was first arrested. Miranda has always meant less in reality than in the popular imagination, and post 2010 it means even less. any spontaneous statement (like the one here) is going to be considered admissable. There's a reason lawyers tell you to keep your mouth shut, you should never rely on miranda to protect you from the consequences of anything you do say. Under current jurisprudence you need to explicitly invoke your right to remain silent and your right to counsel and then say nothing more, because speaking after that can be considered an implicit waiver of your miranda rights. If you think that means miranda is essentially meaningless, well, that argument has been made.
4:33 for a movie that’s so chock full of details, if the timer on Trooper Wagner’s phone is to be accounted for, the trooper would have only recorded the part when Ransom said “… with a good lawyer, which I have, I’ll be out in no time,” meaning that the recording wouldn’t have been useful in court anyhow. On the other hand, Ransom did say everything with 4 witnesses in the room, plus he did also assault/ attempt to kill Marta, so his ass is going to jail regardless.
It was very nice of Benoit Blanc and the other detectives to give Ransom almost 20 seconds to realize the knife is fake before they tackle him off Marta, despite it would only take 3 seconds at most in reality.
Years ago he played the same kind of entitled rich boy who not only murdered his grandfather but commited rape. Real sweetheart. Fierce People in 2005.
Either way it's dumb to think you can confess even attempted murder in front of cops. Cop testimony definitely counts. That's why there are Miranda rights.
for attempted murder with good lawyers he could get a plea deal and only pay a five figure fine. people can and do end up in jail for attempted murder, but not always. was it still stupid of him? yes, but he is arrogant enough to think he can get away with it and since he's a rich white guy, he might've. avoiding jail time after confessing for a murder is trickier.
Technically, Ransom did not even confess though. "Yeah, I killed Fran but I guess I didn't." That's him literally backing out of his own statement, this would be marked as a questionable testimony at best considering that he never explicitly admitted to killing Fran and was basically just being a jerk throughout the entirety of this conversation. He should theoretically still be safe for the Harlan case as all of these could have been easily masked as a heat in the moment reaction which is why voice recordings without any visual reference are often not the best evidence to use. I'm not sure how he did not realize that and proceeded to worsen his case by attempting to kill Marta right in front of the detectives as witnesses. For supposedly being the smartest family member, Ransom made some dubious decisions.
It fits his character pretty well though, "in for a penny, in for a pound". Every decision he makes is digging a deeper and deeper hole. He probably would've gotten off easier if he didn't attempt to kill Frank, but he made it worse by "confessing" it, and hammered the final nail by going after Marta.
But it is though, the "I guess I didn't" is in reference to Fran still being alive? I'm not a lawyer for sure, just some youtube commenter, and so I'd give that he could argue in court that he was just taunting them, he's just a dick after all, but his immediately ensuing comments (on the record), are "so what do you have on me, attempted murder?" and his self-righteous speech there-following *is* a confession of him attempting to kill Fran while under the belief that he failed, given that his failure was a lie, he admitted to killing her.
@@atrinoc0207 That's my take. And he wouldn't be able to play it off either, as after he said I killed her but I guess I didn't, he says that it's only attempted murder, and thus he has admitted he attempted to kill her, and actually completed the job.
when the detective shows the recorder, it switches from 46 to 47 in a second...so it would seem it was only recording for about 46 seconds...so it would've caught about as much as "shut up with that Kentucky fried foghorn-leghorn draawwwww. yea i killed Fran..." just barely enough.
Harlan, the dead patriarch of the family, was a mystery writer. He collected odd props that go well with the macabre. Ransom (Huge) didn't know that some of those knives in the display were fake movie props. He actually proved intent to kill the one person who was subject to his downfall. Another aspect of the scene was that Marta couldn't lie without getting an upset stomach. Everyone knew that. So when she convincingly lied, at least long enough to fool Ransom, he thought he was going to be subjected to a lesser charge of attempted murder so he confessed. That pissed off Ransom.
@@alainarchambault2331 Is it 'some of' or 'all of'? I'm sure all of the knives in that circle is a fake. Why would anyone leave such a collection of lethal weapons there?
@@ameennasar2583 Was mentioned in passing so I'm not sure but if they were all fake. Huge would've known that if they were all fake so it wouldn't explain his final lunge at Marta. Harlan being an author of macabre murder mysteries would had a collection real or no.
@@alainarchambault2331 I can't remember exactly because I watched the movie about a year ago but I think Harlan had a line where he was talking about Hugh and it was something like, "Never could tell a real knife from a fake one" So that's also why it was significant that Hugh picked the fake knife. Out of all of those real ones he couldn't tell a fake one apart.
Did I miss out anything? Why is fran still alive at 10am when Ransom met her at the original time of 8am? How could she stay alive for so long with the morphine injection?
Some people thought Chris pulled off this role, but honestly for me, the one thing that hurt this great movie is that I will never be able to buy Captain America as a villain.
I can, he bashed in Tony Stark's chest with the shield Howard Stark made for him. Doing so broke the arc reactor that powers the suit, leaving Tony alone in Siberia, trapped within hundreds of pounds of metal. Steve was lucky Tony didn't freeze to death. Also using Tony's resources and living in his tower whilst betraying him and not seeing anything wrong with his actions really makes me unable to trust him. Also he knew Peggy Carter was married with children, but he went back in time and married her? Like did he erase her kids from ever existing? It was never explained.
Can't we assume that black panther eventually came back and cleaned up the mess, or called somebody to do it? For that matter, probably tony still had communications?

That was the one thing I didn't quite understand -- Ransom's cockiness about "only" facing charges of attempted murder and arson. I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty attempted murder still carries a heavy sentence. Add in arson, conspiracy, probably obstruction of justice, possibly mail fraud when he dropped off the note in Marta's mail slot, oh and possibly manslaughter as his tampering with Harlan's medications (which I think may be a federal crime) directly led to his death. Add in the cocky confessions in front of a detective and two police officers who will all definitely testify in any trial. That seems like at least 20 years imprisonment and if a judge made the sentences consecutive, then Ransom likely dies in jail.
Again, not a lawyer, just an armchair fan of the movie who was wondering if I was wrong to conclude that Ransom's initial cockiness was warranted (obviously rendered moot by the end of this scene).
There's virtually no evidence for anything that Ransom is accused of, and they'd need a confession for anything at all to stick. Kinda dumb that he'd even say anything. Someone as smart as him would probably just go "Lawyer" and walk.
Plus, pretty as he is, he's going to have a hard time doing any length of time in prison.
@@_a.tay_ Smart as he may be, he's also very arrogant and is probably just acting out as his plan begins collapsing around him.
Not a lawyer but everything is speculative even with a testimony. He could plead guilty and get a reduced sentence or even could defend under an insanity case (maybe emotional distress with his confession) and probably only do like 5-10 years, if that with a good lawyer & dependent on the laws per the state they try the case in. Fran dying is the key to everything, attempted murder vs 1st degree murder(even if negligent murder).
True but there’s other mitigating factors: a lawyer getting a judge known for bribery, judges who can take a payoff, jurors who can take a payoff, evidence that goes missing cuz a guard took a payoff, witnesses disappearing etc.
Wonder if there is going to be a running gag of people’s failure to blackmail others in these films.
This was my Ana De Armas and Daniel Craige Movie and I enjoyed it very very much ❤❤
That vomiting 🤮
Great reveal, even though I can't *stomach* the way it was done
@@boringperson-zb8vyYep, going to the theater watching this as an emetophobic was wild and I'm sure a few alongside me learned they had the same phobia that day
"Cause you're and asshole" Was so matter of fact🤣
2:38 - Even a bad detective knows the difference between jail and prison!
It is prison Hugh is going to.
A jail is a place you go when you are arrested, and held. Usually in a police station.
A prison is an entire facility devoted to the long-term detention of convicted criminals.
When you’re about to die and you have to choose you’re words carefully, you’re not gonna say “Hugh did this, Hugh won’t get away with it.” You’ll probably say “It was Hugh” or smth like that
Weird, it’s almost like this is a Hollywood movie that needs to prioritize story beats over satisfying idiots who, for some reason, require fiction to perfectly mirror reality
Sit down, nobody is giving out cookies today.
personally I would give you the cookie but "It was Hugh" also just sounds like "It was you".
whilst it is meant to just be "for the misdirection" to Fran's credit. She did have like a lethal dose of morphine in her body. That might fuck with you a bit
@@mc-rn8ro It's not about mirroring reality, it's about verisimilitude. If the audience sees the heavy hand of the writer, the writer has failed. Idiots aren't the ones asking for fiction writers to be better at their craft.
One of my favorite films of all time.
But I will never understand why people are like, "Oh, yeah. I know something that will get this person in jail for a li=ong time so let me meet with them in a dark unpopulated place where no one will find me if they kill me"
The biggest question is why did the hospital call the person accused of murdering the victim 😂
Yes, that's great news... Doctor on the other side: "Wtf???" lol
5:31 - [Captain America]: Language!
SPOILERS FOR GLASS ONION:
But I love that the characterization of the villain stays so consistent.
Ransom is an asshole.
It plays into his plan and ends up getting him caught in some way.
Miles Bron is an idiot.
It plays into his plan and ultimately gets him found out also.
secretly hoping marta whispered something to the doctors before saying what she said 😭
Would Ransom's confession be admissible in court, considering he hadn't yet been Mirandized?
Yes. People misunderstand how Miranda works. You need to be under arrest and being questioned. IIRC, they hadn’t arrested Ransom.
@@Cloak1972 Not to mention that, whilst police was present, the ones properly "interrogating" him were civilian.
@@Cloak1972 They sort of did, I can't remember whether they de-arrested him just before Marta was about to confess to the family. Still, police procedure does require questioning under a Miranda warning (or a caution if you are in the UK).
This would make every single movie and TV show of this type unrealistic. Surely we can suspend our disbeliefs, considering this is not real life?
He was likely routinely mirandized when he was first arrested. Miranda has always meant less in reality than in the popular imagination, and post 2010 it means even less. any spontaneous statement (like the one here) is going to be considered admissable. There's a reason lawyers tell you to keep your mouth shut, you should never rely on miranda to protect you from the consequences of anything you do say. Under current jurisprudence you need to explicitly invoke your right to remain silent and your right to counsel and then say nothing more, because speaking after that can be considered an implicit waiver of your miranda rights. If you think that means miranda is essentially meaningless, well, that argument has been made.
Who names their kid after what criminals do to people
Maybe he was just named after his parents' exercise habits
Technically it’s his middle name.
@@Storm_Bird456 then why are people using it as his first smartass
It's his middle name, and Harlan was a murder mystery author, and his mother obviously had a deep connection to Harlan so it makes total sense
4:33 for a movie that’s so chock full of details, if the timer on Trooper Wagner’s phone is to be accounted for, the trooper would have only recorded the part when Ransom said “… with a good lawyer, which I have, I’ll be out in no time,” meaning that the recording wouldn’t have been useful in court anyhow.
On the other hand, Ransom did say everything with 4 witnesses in the room, plus he did also assault/ attempt to kill Marta, so his ass is going to jail regardless.
man, 4:33 minutes which is when the timer is shown minus 47 seconds is 3:46 minutes, which is before he said he killed him....
I knew a girl that looked exactly like Ana De Armas
Mesmerizing eyes wow .
Definitely one of the best murder mystery movies I have ever seen. So re watchable too
It was very nice of Benoit Blanc and the other detectives to give Ransom almost 20 seconds to realize the knife is fake before they tackle him off Marta, despite it would only take 3 seconds at most in reality.
Daniel Craig sucks at his American accent especially the southern accent
After this Ana De Armas Ghosted Chris Evans 😂😂
IFYKYK
Years ago he played the same kind of entitled rich boy who not only murdered his grandfather but commited rape. Real sweetheart. Fierce People in 2005.
This movie is stupid
Why is the Glass Onion synopsis in this video’s description?
Cap needs to chill tf out
Either way it's dumb to think you can confess even attempted murder in front of cops. Cop testimony definitely counts.
That's why there are Miranda rights.
for attempted murder with good lawyers he could get a plea deal and only pay a five figure fine. people can and do end up in jail for attempted murder, but not always.
was it still stupid of him? yes, but he is arrogant enough to think he can get away with it and since he's a rich white guy, he might've. avoiding jail time after confessing for a murder is trickier.
@@blazypika2 wow didn't know. Thanks! Good plot!
@@blazypika2 but also judges HATE it when people say the judge will let them get away with something cause they have money and sway.
I wish you have a happy week and all focus in your projects
Chris Evans acting in evil role is the best,
Technically, Ransom did not even confess though.
"Yeah, I killed Fran but I guess I didn't."
That's him literally backing out of his own statement, this would be marked as a questionable testimony at best considering that he never explicitly admitted to killing Fran and was basically just being a jerk throughout the entirety of this conversation. He should theoretically still be safe for the Harlan case as all of these could have been easily masked as a heat in the moment reaction which is why voice recordings without any visual reference are often not the best evidence to use. I'm not sure how he did not realize that and proceeded to worsen his case by attempting to kill Marta right in front of the detectives as witnesses. For supposedly being the smartest family member, Ransom made some dubious decisions.
Nope, that's a confession.
It fits his character pretty well though, "in for a penny, in for a pound". Every decision he makes is digging a deeper and deeper hole. He probably would've gotten off easier if he didn't attempt to kill Frank, but he made it worse by "confessing" it, and hammered the final nail by going after Marta.
But it is though, the "I guess I didn't" is in reference to Fran still being alive? I'm not a lawyer for sure, just some youtube commenter, and so I'd give that he could argue in court that he was just taunting them, he's just a dick after all, but his immediately ensuing comments (on the record), are "so what do you have on me, attempted murder?" and his self-righteous speech there-following *is* a confession of him attempting to kill Fran while under the belief that he failed, given that his failure was a lie, he admitted to killing her.
sure i mean if you're an idiot you can definitely remove that from context and not understand a thing.
@@atrinoc0207 That's my take. And he wouldn't be able to play it off either, as after he said I killed her but I guess I didn't, he says that it's only attempted murder, and thus he has admitted he attempted to kill her, and actually completed the job.
when the detective shows the recorder, it switches from 46 to 47 in a second...so it would seem it was only recording for about 46 seconds...so it would've caught about as much as "shut up with that Kentucky fried foghorn-leghorn draawwwww. yea i killed Fran..."
just barely enough.
He’s a dark reflection of what self serving people could be, what I could be
They Did A Reference In A Mel Gibson Movie When Tom Yells Give Me Back My Son.
The face he makes right before the throw bit is always great, and with the child like detective reaffirming that she was lying because she threw up
Idk how I didn’t see this coming the guys name is literally ransom 😂😂😂
I knew Ransom did the murder from the start, because his arrogance gave it away.
What was the point of Benoit rolling up his sleeves and tucking his tie away, since all he does is roll them down again?
...there's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti...
what even was her plan??? he confesses to her in a secluded area and then just lets her walk away to tell the cops??????
Ransom says "Shit!", I say "Language, cap!"
"WHAT THE SHIT!" Was just so perfect
how did it take them so long to get him off of her?! they were right next to them 😂
Capt purposely stabbing her chest....
The you did this thing made no sense w the Spanish overdub
did chris evans sound like mike wazowski in 7 seconds?
I love the knife double take and then ... shit. lol
@braddah - atlease she warned him not to come near her...with her bare hands 😂
The one reason I'll never be able to fully watch this movie is that scene..... the other emetophobes know that I'm talking about :|
You can skip it?
Language Cap
This is a what if scenario. What if captain America was an A#&$ h@*#/
So genius
4:05
3:34 This part is pure gold 😂
Dollar sound quality
Such a complex puzzle
5:30 😂😂😂
So this is what Cap was doing before officially becoming Captain America, in the flesh😂😂😂
can someone explain what happened when ransom stabbed Marta with that knife
It was a retractable knife. It’s not real so if you’re stabbed it’s like a game
Harlan, the dead patriarch of the family, was a mystery writer. He collected odd props that go well with the macabre. Ransom (Huge) didn't know that some of those knives in the display were fake movie props. He actually proved intent to kill the one person who was subject to his downfall. Another aspect of the scene was that Marta couldn't lie without getting an upset stomach. Everyone knew that. So when she convincingly lied, at least long enough to fool Ransom, he thought he was going to be subjected to a lesser charge of attempted murder so he confessed. That pissed off Ransom.
@@alainarchambault2331 Is it 'some of' or 'all of'? I'm sure all of the knives in that circle is a fake. Why would anyone leave such a collection of lethal weapons there?
@@ameennasar2583 Was mentioned in passing so I'm not sure but if they were all fake. Huge would've known that if they were all fake so it wouldn't explain his final lunge at Marta.
Harlan being an author of macabre murder mysteries would had a collection real or no.
@@alainarchambault2331 I can't remember exactly because I watched the movie about a year ago but I think Harlan had a line where he was talking about Hugh and it was something like, "Never could tell a real knife from a fake one"
So that's also why it was significant that Hugh picked the fake knife. Out of all of those real ones he couldn't tell a fake one apart.
Masterpiece
Did I miss out anything? Why is fran still alive at 10am when Ransom met her at the original time of 8am? How could she stay alive for so long with the morphine injection?
This movie is way better than “The Last Jedi” in my most honest opinion!
4:27 does this count as entrapment? Confession under false pretences?
🤓☝
No. Police are allowed to lie or trick. Ever heard of a sting operation or Mr. Big?
Fran being dumb is egregious writing
Blackmailers usually are not the sharpest tool in the shed.
I will forever hate her saying “hugh did this,” because I don’t think it’s a reasonable twist as it felt a little goofy.
Literally naming the killer? That is about as honest as can be.

Some people thought Chris pulled off this role, but honestly for me, the one thing that hurt this great movie is that I will never be able to buy Captain America as a villain.
I can, he bashed in Tony Stark's chest with the shield Howard Stark made for him. Doing so broke the arc reactor that powers the suit, leaving Tony alone in Siberia, trapped within hundreds of pounds of metal. Steve was lucky Tony didn't freeze to death. Also using Tony's resources and living in his tower whilst betraying him and not seeing anything wrong with his actions really makes me unable to trust him. Also he knew Peggy Carter was married with children, but he went back in time and married her? Like did he erase her kids from ever existing? It was never explained.
Can't we assume that black panther eventually came back and cleaned up the mess, or called somebody to do it? For that matter, probably tony still had communications?
@@annaw1298The directors of Endgame confirmed that Peggy was always married to Cap so the kids you are mentioning are his kids
Movie sucked.
As the Knight said and the last Crusade you chose poorly
