House of Wolves

A solid, yet straight-forward murder mystery with some well-written and fun family theatrics that play well into the pace of the story. The backdrop of the NFL played really well into the real story about a familial and political power struggle with (the good) shades of all of the movies and television shows about rich people behaving badly. A slight downfall might be that there aren't too many twists, turns, or surprises and even though the whodunnit was really more of a subplot, the final answer to it felt a little uninspired.
