I thought it was really great. It kept me guessing (although I do tend to be a bit of an easy mark for whodunit films), and I thought the twist brought a bit of fresh air to the genre. I also really liked the central message (being a good person, what makes a good person) a lot and I thought that a great point like that stood this film out from other detective stories (which are often mostly just concerned with mystery in and of itself). The presentation was also really great; I would particularly highlight the opening with the questioning/flashback sequence and the way visuals and editing are used to show lies, truths, half-truths, and relationships.
