were you able to guess?

I guessed it was Peter after he lied to the detective about the wound on his head. Thats not the only clue that helped me. The line "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" was my 2nd clue. My initial doubts were on his female secretary though

I thought it would´ve been Peter, until I realized he couldn´t be there at the time of some of the murders. At the very finale, right before the big reveal, I already knew it was him.

I never twigged who it was until the scene where berti got hacked up.

I have to say, at one point or another, I suspected just about every single character EXCEPT Peter.

I think it's pretty common to guess the main character just because so many movies go down that route. I was hoping for more of a Deep Red twist, one you don't see coming.

I did have my share of suspicions though. The moustached dude, and obviously he did play a role.

I thought his ex was too obvious. I did suspect his female helper and agent for a bit though.

What gave it away for me was when the agent and the young helper guy were killed. The agent smiled at Peter beofre getting stabbed, hence you could tell he knew him. The young guy turns after being strangled and has a look of shock. It had to be someone both knew well. And that limited it down quite a bit.

I always thought that Peter hit himself in the head with a rock to make it look like someone else was there that killed Christiano.

That did cross my mind as well, however I kind of thought it was his agent to pump sales up bc he was so greedy lol, but then he got killed too so I was confused thinking it may have been Anne...bc she's in love with peter and protecting him, but that obviously was wrong too! Oh well pretty good tho since I was thinking the same thing about the rock part and then was led of the right track, tht made it more interesting tho

The second I saw the bloody rock and Neal's head wound, I knew it was him. He was so often absent from the movie beyond that point as well. It was a little disappointing that it was him, they could've made it less obvious. Still a good movie, though.

There were so many twists in this film that I couldn't keep up.

The fact that the initial murder took place while he was on a transatlantic flight threw me off.
