I quite liked it because it subverts the expectations of a traditional whodunnit. When you watch one you always expect an elaborate murder scheme with a crazy motivation that no one ever expects. I like watching whodunnits, and my mind immediately starts trying to piece of what crazy elaborate scheme and motivation led to the murder based on the tiniest clues in the background.
Like the murder mystery game miles tried to stage which was solved within seconds of it starting.
When it was revealed that the whole thing was done by an incompetent moron who basically had no idea wtf he was doing the whole time, to me it was a hilarious twist on the genre as a whole

I think we're saying the same thing. He subverted your expectations because you expected something elaborate and clever, but instead he gave you....nothing.
