Managed to catch Black Butler 黑执事 online. Personally, I felt that the plot was good which kept viewers in great suspense. A genre of film which I adore to watch. However, I thought the flow for certain scenes could have been slightly better.
Kudos to the amazing action scenes which bring this film to another level. I thought that the investigations and flash-back of tracking the clues were cool. It allow viewers to think and realised how the cases were linked. Towards the end, there was a twist which was unexpected for me.
