What 2019 has taught me in movies is that you can make even the biggest of blockbusters 5 Hours, and still be like “Well, that went by fast…”
Because, clocking at 2h10’, Knives Out is not only a damn good time but, even for me not being one with a big mind on Mystery Flicks, I was still on the edge of my seat for whatever would happen next.

And it’s all thanks to the big cast full of big names like *insert actor’s/actress’ name here*, as they all do a great job playing each family member the investigators have to interrogate.
Daniel Craig was awesome in a campy way (playing this investigator who feels like he always has a blast whenever he’s solving **** and whenever Ana De Armas was onscreen, I wanted to hug her so bad. And Christopher Plummer literally played my Maths teacher, so that was some ****
This cast was basically composed of people who:
I wanted to hug real bad
I really want to be friends with
Were just there for Comedy Purposes

Of course, this is a Rian Johnson movie, so be ready to get your expectations “subverted” for Plot Twists and everything (even though a Mystery flick is good territory for Johnson to shoot you some plot twist to the head)... Maybe even in the smallest of moments. For instance, the beginning of the movie feels like it’s supposed to have a lady screaming to a dead body, but no. She just stands there, looking at the corpse…
And, as mentioned, not one with Mystery schtick, but for being a Mystery Movie, it was also both charming and bittersweet in a way. And the last shot was basically a **** all of you”, but in a great way. Probably the most hilarious way to end your movie and earn that ending. Man, the hits just keep coming and coming for Rian Johnson, and I can see a real bright future for him as a Writer/Director. Yes, even if he ripped the Star Wars fanbase in Half (believe me, it needs an H this big). I’ll be exquisitely sitting here, looking forward to whatever he’ll be doing next.

The whodunnit genre is always full of twists and turns, but this movie in a multitude of incredibly clever ways takes you for an extra twist and a few more turns beyond what you would expect. The southern-accented Daniel Craig going on a thought spiral about donuts inside of donut holes was the greatest ending monologue in any film I have seen.… Expand

Knives out is advertised as a whodunit movie. In a way it sort of is but this is Rian Johnson, he loves subverting expectations. Seriously though, this movie really subverts a lot of expectations. It's better to go into this movie with littleKnives out is advertised as a whodunit movie. In a way it sort of is but this is Rian Johnson, he loves subverting expectations. Seriously though, this movie really subverts a lot of expectations. It's better to go into this movie with little to no knowledge which is why it is difficult to review this without giving away too much.

First off, this movie has an amazing cast with Daniel Craig pulling off an American accent as the private investigator. Chris Evans post Avengers work has him play a much more terrible character which is a huge contrast to Captain America. Christopher Plummer while a minor role gives a very lovable mystery novelist. Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson and Toni Colette give a very convincing performance as egotistic rich snobs. Ana de Armas must be praised as well for being able to convincing give the audience a sort of POV character in this massive all star cast. I will also give props to Lakeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, Jaeden Martell and Noah Segan as well as they did a great job as well. The story and the screenplay is just phenomenal with the witty and charming dialogue. Likewise, the twist are smart and really keep the audience on its toes.

I do struggle to find negatives but I guess the one and only true blatant negative is the very obvious political message. "Right white conservative" are bad. The movie doesn't emphasise it a lot but there are scenes where is delves into these such as immigration and having the white rich characters talk quite negatively about it. Likewise emphasising how the children of Christopher Plummer's character have not earned anything of their own legitimately or have been given massive money to earn anything. It's a very simple and obvious message that anyone can see throughout the entire film. Additionally, maybe the misleading advertisement can be quite a deterrent to some viewers. As stated at the beginning, Rian Johnson completely flips the Whodunit genre on its head but the trailers and advertisement suggest it is just a typical whodunit story when it really isn't. To me this isn't exactly a negative but it could be seen as such to other viewers. In conclusion, this is a must watch to everyone. It is such an entertaining movie and is a great reminded of films from the old Hitchcock days. While the director's previous work, The Last Jedi, was divisive; This movie is amazing. Give it a watch!… Expand

Not a single weak link in the cast. The only flaw I have is that the big reveal is just a smidge underwhelming and delivered in a slightly uninteresting way. Notice, I said “smidge” and “slightly.” Both those things are still solid, but compared to how well polished the rest of the film is, it sticks out. That’s a good sign for the rest of the movie.… Expand

To keep it short: The movie is very funny, with many different intriguing characters that all seem to have a reason to dislike Harlan, and Daniel Craig portrays a funny private detective that has a nose for people and their intensions.

In Writer/Director Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out,” the whole is less than the sum of its parts. But there are so many parts – actors, plot twists – that the whole thing still works, sorta.

Writer Johnson (“Brothers Bloom,” “Looper,” “StarIn Writer/Director Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out,” the whole is less than the sum of its parts. But there are so many parts – actors, plot twists – that the whole thing still works, sorta.

Writer Johnson (“Brothers Bloom,” “Looper,” “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”) clearly has taken delight in creating a puzzle box of a movie that’s filled with twists, turns, ambiguities and misunderstandings. To celebrate his 85th birthday, Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) invites his extended family to a celebration at his estate. But wait: nearly everybody has just been cut out of the will. In a staggeringly unpredictable development, by the end of the evening, Thrombey is dead. The subsequent investigation is complicated by the fact that most members of Thrombey’s family seem both loathsome and self-absorbed enough to have done the deed. The only exception to this pageant of narcissism is Marta, Thrombey’s nurse/caregiver/friend, who apparently would have to take a demotion to become Mother Teresa. Complications ensue. The game is afoot. Other clichés follow.

These convolutions are examined and explored by private detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig), whose keen mind will leave no stone unturned and whose Southern accent will leave no syllable undrawled. One character even questions whether this is “CSI: KFC.” It’s all great fun.

Director Johnson has at his disposal an embarrassment of riches. In addition to Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Chris Evans and Toni Collette are all elegant pieces on this three-dimensional chess board. Frank Oz even takes a break from breathing life into Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear to portray a reasonably life-like attorney. With so many of these actors playing against type, the pleasure they all take in this enterprise is almost palpable. However, it’s Ana de Armas (“Blade Runner 2049,” “War Dogs”) as Marta who most fully commands attention. De Armas will next be seen alongside Craig in the 2020 James Bond installment “No Time to Die.” Get used to seeing her. She’ll be in at least four major films next year.

What doesn’t work in this film is the tone. For the most part, the film strives to be a worthy installment in the tradition of the Agatha Christie who-dunnit genre, a goal at which it generally succeeds. However, there also is enough time spent burnishing the image of the “new immigrant” and chronicling the evils of the entitled – both themes explored repeatedly, repetitively, repetitiously, redundantly – that the detective story sometimes stalls a little. Is this social commentary or farcical fun?

On the whole, though, this is entertainment that’s worth your time, if only to see Daniel Craig temporarily trade in his medium dry martini, shaken not stirred, for a mint julip.… Expand

- Whodunit?
- Rian Johnson.
- Why?
- To subvert the tropes of yet another sub-genre... properly!

As divisive as it was, I neither loved nor hated the love-it-or-hate-it The Last Jedi. Maybe because I'm not a huge fan of the much-beloved saga. But I can give you a quick opinion of what I thought about it anyway. The first half almost turned me off completely: tons of lame jokes and out-of-character moments that indicate that Johnson's biggest concern was to subvert expectations and nothing but. The second half of the film was way better. It proved to me that Johnson is actually very capable of adding fresh blood to the saga, so effortlessly to such an extent that I wondered why he struggled so much in the first half.

In Knives Out, Johnson didn't add a new spin on the 'whodunit' sub-genre of detective fiction; he took it and turned it on its head. He did so not only by playing with the tropes and mechanisms of this sub-genre -and boy, he did that so exquisitely and gracefully- but he also by using a new and very effective building block: Drama. It doesn't sound new, isn't it? But, actually, relying on it here, in this kind of a story, is nothing short of revolutionary, and that's simply lies in the fact it's unprecedented to build upon it here. The result is nothing but marvellous. And although that, at some point, the main concern of the plot wasn't the murder mystery per se, the mystery didn't lose its sharpness even a tiny bit. And that's a strong proof that everything worked, and integrated, seamlessly. I said integrated because the film has a plethora of comedic bits throughout its runtime -which flies by- and, to be honest, I think every single joke landed perfectly. The film also suggest a political agenda that's exquisitely woven into the plot, and provides a sharp social commentary that's impressively subtle.

Not only did Rian Johnson reinvigorate this seemingly outmoded and unfruitful sub-genre, but he also did the same thing with a couple of members of the star-studded cast: I didn't know that Chris Evans, Captain America himself, would be better as, well, an "Anti-Captain America "; Craig as Blanc is absolutely phenomenal, with his southern accent and caricature detective character; and Jaeden Martell (IT) is very interesting as the weirdo Jacob Thrombey. As for Curtis, Langford, Plummer, Collette and Shannon, Johnson makes an excellent use of their incredible acting abilities, and of their facial expressions and features, especially Shannon with his remarkable menacing countenance. The real standout, though, is Ana de Armas. I mean, she was good in Blade Runner 2049, but here, as she plays my new favourite version of Pinocchio, she proves she's an exceptionally talented actress who is capable of expressing emotions, and changing them readily, only with her eyes. Honestly, I think she should have been nominated for an Oscar!

Overall, I'm really surprised how much I loved this film. With Johnson superb and clever direction and meticulously-nuanced and witty -albeit slightly too-structured- screenplay, I think this is my favourite - even if it's not my highest-rated - film of 2019. You know what, this film is actually terrible: it's very pretentious; its puzzle is too convoluted for its own good; it has an overabundance of plot twists; it underutilized its stellar ensemble; and it has a lot of plot holes, or -in this case- donut holes! Excuse me, I gotta leave right now!

If you were not a big fan of The Last Jedi then I urge you to check this film out and see that Rian Johnson is a more capable director when he is working on his own. It’s a film with issues that are minor and were the only issues I had with the film. The film does have some political subtext to it which I liked but there were some areas where it was a little on the nose. It didn’t take me out of the movie but I wished it had been handled a little better. This movie has a bunch of A-list actors and they all bring their A-game. Every performance in this movie is pretty great but Daniel Craig, Chirs Evans, and Ana de Armas steal every scene they are in. It can be a little hard to get used to Craig’s heavy southern drawl at first but you eventually get used to it. Chris Evans is a nice counterweight to everyone’s craziness. I felt he was one of the funniest characters in the movie except for one joke. Ana de Armas is a great protagonist to follow throughout the film along with Daniel Craig. All 3 of them disappear into their roles and portray their characters almost perfectly. It’s a great redemption film for Chris Evans from Red Sea Diving Resort. The script is pretty great. There are tons of clues hidden beneath each line of dialogue and it all feels very natural. This allows for Johnson’s comedic writing to shine. He is able to cleverly insert jokes that most of the time are pretty hilarious. The reason the comedy didn’t work that well in The Last Jedi for me was that it felt forced and didn’t always align well with the tone but the comedy shines here because it fits the film’s tone perfectly. While not every joke is hilarious, a majority of them are. The jokes that go along with certain characters fit their character pretty well. Some of the funniest lines in the movie are delivered by Michael Shannon and Daniel Craig because the jokes they tell perfectly fit their characters. The story is fairly simple but Rian Johnson throws a lot of simple twists throughout that makes it feels unique. The film decides to reveal what actually happened to the victim halfway through the film and it turns into a cover up which then progresses to a pretty major twist that I never saw coming but felt necessary and made sense to the narrative. The music was also pretty good. It added tension and was interesting to listen to while the events unfolded. Overall, Knives Out is a great murder mystery with great performances, a great script, hilarious jokes, and some interesting twists.… Expand

The first 30 minutes or so feltIt was really great to see a lot of my favourite actors like Toni Collette, Michael Shannon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans and Daniel Craig in a single film, that too a whodunit, one of my favourite genres. . .
The first 30 minutes or so felt a little generically convoluted but it got better after that and was entertaining to watch till the end. There was a lot of intriguing suspense and everyone did feel like a suspect, and I got a little "Murder on the Orient Express" vibe. It's not even close to that on the whole, but the few minutes of tension was perhaps the best part of the film. The next thing I appreciated about the film is that it kinda dodges the familiar route of telling the story. Things get revealed in the middle, and it takes a little different kind of route and becomes kinda "chase" movie. It's actually about what a particular character is going through, throughout the movie, and the hurdles that the said character is going through. Speaking of which, I need to say that characterization was really good in this film. No two characters could be exchanged with the other. .
.
What holds the movie back is that it doesn't use any new tricks to reveal things. You'll realize that everything that they went for were quite familiar and while serving the movie its purpose, it doesn't form a long lasting impression inside our head. And, the "gimmick" used for the protagonist is absolute a$$. .
.
It's a very nice film and a really good way of presenting a whodunit, if you can ignore the familiar tropes. Chris Evans, fresh out of the Steve Rogers role, gives a remarkable performance in a role of a character that's literally the opposite of what Steve Rogers is. I just got to see that Evans was a much better actor than I took him for. Craig is fantastic, but feels quite like James Bond lite. Others have done a good job for whatever they were given. Rian Johnson is one of the most underappreciated writers/directors, along with Mike Flanagan. .

Score : 8.8/10

Sabendo disso, fica claro que o fato de ser escrito e dirigidoKnives Out é escrito e dirigido por Rian Johnson, e meu amigos... que trabalho magnifico que ele fez aqui. Esse filme me faz sentir sortudo por ser um apreciador da Sétima arte!

Sabendo disso, fica claro que o fato de ser escrito e dirigido pela mesma pessoa faz uma grande diferença. Nós sabemos que seremos surpreendidos, e a direção faz isso de proposito para que ponhamos nossa cabeça para funcionar. Mas nada é entregue de bandeja aqui, não até o gran finale. O filme apresenta todos os personagens para que comecemos a nos basear desde o principio. Mostrando as discussões pendentes e com quem o velho tinha mais afinidade. Obvio que determinados aspectos são revelados de acordo com que a trama segue, e devo dizer que o timing foi excelente, visto que você não se sente cansado em nenhum momento do filme. Cada cena é importante e nada é atoa - guardem bem isso.

Daniel Craig estava excelente nesse filme. Talvez essa tenha sido sua atuação mais divertida, pra mim. O papel dele não é fácil, pois entrelaçar o misterioso, o divertido, o espertalhão e ainda dar corda para o filme acontecer - sem ele, não haveria sequer caso - é um peso e tanto. Já Chris Evans usa de todo seu charme para construir um personagem arrogante e pretensioso. Ana de Armas convence muito no seu papel, passando drama nos momentos corretos e seguindo sua linha de base até o final do filme, o que mostra muita atenção por parte dela. Entre Facas e Segredos é um prato cheio, principalmente para quem gosta do gênero. Surpreende, intriga, atiça, e tem um final extremamente satisfatório.

I can't not mention Daniel Craig's ludicrously over the top accent in this film, who sounds like a deeply thoughtful 'sleuth of the south' type. He has a similar accent in the film 'Logan Lucky' if I remember right. There are some intriguing plot twists, as we start to see more in terms of what happened from different characters perspectives/points of view. I also was quite keen on the main setting - a large, stately type home, which means many scenes have nice furniture and things in the background. This is certainly not a film to take entirely seriously but its a fun, whodunnit type watch - one which is fairly engrossing and thus I'd recommend it.… Expand

This film was surprisingly entertaining. It's able to balance so many elements at once without it feeling boring or dull at any points. The acting in the film was nice as well, with each character having their own little moment.

Strongly reminiscent of classic British tea-and-biscuits murder mysteries (think Midsommer Murders, Death In Paradise or any of the myriad Agatha Christie adaptations) with a memorable victim, a massive inheritance, a stately home full of suspects with motives that emerge piece by piece, capped off by Daniel Craig's quirkily New Orleans-ish accented consulting detective Benoit Blanc and Ana de Armas' wide-eyed and innocent-seeming undocumented migrant nurse Marta Cabrera. The old-fashioned stately home and the traditional battle for the inheritance sits very neatly alongside up-to-the-minute concerns such as attitudes towards migrants and teenagers tweeting alt-right memes from the toilet.

It's hard to give a proper review of a whodunit without giving away too much, suffice to say that from very early on in the film we shift from trying to figure out who they are and what they dun to wondering if they can get away with what they dun, a welcome twist on what could have been a highly orthodox mystery plot.

An absolute blast of a film.… Expand

ILately for the past few years i've been someone who has felt uninspired and uninterested in movies to the point where i don't bother going to the cinema unless i'm dragged there by a friend, but Rian Johnson has restored my faith in movies. I was so impressed with his work on The Last Jedi so i decided to see Knives Out. It surpassed all expections. I was completely engaged the whole time, i felt like i was experiencing everything unfold right along with the characters. Also, I think it was an important movie in todays world. There are so many people that cling to their racism and xenophobia and hate and people need to realize how it affects innocent people who are human just like us. THANK YOU Rian Johnson. Your passion and love that goes into your movies is SEEN and appreciated. Its so human and thats why it connects so well with me. I plan on seeing it again tomorrow.… Expand

The movieThe mystery was (Scooby-Doo) predictable, I figured it out as soon as the killer appeared on screen. It probably would have been a lot less predictable had the movie of been in the perspective of the anonymously hired detective.

The movie its self was at least entertaining. None of the characters annoyed me besides being horrible people, but that was on purpose and not just because of bad writing.

There are few legitimately funny lines in this movie (despite it not beong a comedy) rather that was intentional or not I really cannot tell. The "Especially eat **** line was amazing.

The movie is self aware, in fact they straight up mention they are ripping off Clue. Which is bad you should never mention you are ripping off something. Regardless of the mistakes of the movie I had a good time. Also it's very odd seeing Katherine Langford playing a character being accused of murder after seeing '13 Reasons Why.'… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Knives Out was a super engaging movie and with an amazing plot. I didn’t want the movie to ever end multiple times throughout the movie. The actors were all very good and they were pretty funny. The Cinematography was beautiful and the use of foreshadowing and subtle symbols in the movie was really smart. At the beginning of the movie, Harlan Thrombey said something about not being able to distinguish a real knife from a prop knife and in one of the last scenes, Ransom uses a fake knife when trying to kill Marta. Almost as if Harlan planned the whole thing like one of his books. The baseball that was on Harlan’s desk also took a wild trip throughout the film, being passed by many people, and eventually landed back where is was in the beginning. This is analogous to Gravity’s Rainbow as Detective Benoit said his working process was like: “The projectile’s path can be traced and calculated and he is there waiting for the truth to land at his feet.”

One part of the movie that I did not really like was the generic characters. They really didn’t have much depth it seemed. Marta was a shy, truthful girl, Ransom was an entitled, **** son, the detective was a cunning, handsome man, and so on. It seemed like none of the characters had any depth. Even the kids in the movie were called each other stereotypical names: alt right troll and liberal snowflake. I wanted the characters to develop but they never did it seemed like. Marta never overcame her visceral reaction to lying, she was just able to hold her vomit in longer.

The dialogue was really quick and intelligent. I really liked the banter that the members of the Thrombey family had with each other and it kept the scenes suspenseful yet funny. The sequence of scenes when the will was about to be read to the family was my favorite of the movie. The dialogue was really good and we got to see each character’s personality come out and it was a major turning point in the movie when Marta got all of the inheritance.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Knives Out is described by critics as "...paying homage to classic detective stories but gives the genre a timely twist". Spoiler Alert ... the twist is that it's a Whodunit SPOOF (in general), a Agatha Christie whodunit spoof (in particular) and, finally a Hercule Poirot spoof (more precisely). The screenplay is very well written and admirably performed by a wonderfully talented cast. Without giving the plot away, but justifying my categorization, I'll say this: the antagonists are obnoxious, law enforcement are somewhat dimwitted and inept, and PI is "over the top" superior. Throw in a "KFC" southern accent (perhaps a spoof of the Great Belgian sleuth's French accented English???), a preposterous plot and a wildly entertaining denouement, and you have a thoroughly enjoyable 2 hour comedy spoof. See it for what it is and LAUGH to "yur" heart's content! This movie is definitely worth your time and attention ... and you read it here, first (or thereabouts).… Expand

Twisted as never seen before, the movie tries to tell a complicated story of a simple murder, yet to be seen as a suicide which to your surprise it will. Daniel Craig's magnificent performance stunts you since the very beginning of the movie. Editing had to be extremely difficult in making such a movie. Music rhymes with the story as it slowly but excitingly moves forward. Chris Evans' brilliant vicious character shows how talented he is after years of playing Captain America with too few dialogues.

Even on just one watch, it's one of my favourites already - I have a feeling I'll be revisiting this a lot. I had heard amazing things about this since its release and, man, is the hype befitting. It's a brilliant 131 minutes, even if it feels much shorter than that given how enjoyable it is.

The casting is impeccable. Daniel Craig is superb in the role of Blanc, I've actually found Craig a tad hit-and-miss - even with 'James Bond' - but he is utterly superb here; even with that unusual yet definitely entertaining accent.

It's by no means The Craig Show, though. Ana de Armas is excellent as Marta, she does a lot of heavy lifting in terms of making her character's situation fully believable. She's great from start-to-finish.

Michael Shannon is top notch too, I literally always find him fun to watch - from 'Boardwalk Empire' to, even, 'Kangaroo Jack'. Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, Lakeith Stanfield and Christopher Plummer are all fantastic too.

The plot is enthralling, it's crafted together expertly. It reveals bits way earlier than I was predicting, which made me worry it was going to all fall flat at any moment but it kept turning out to be the perfect time to twist the story. The comedy is also very funny, I laughed a fair amount.

A joy to watch! I haven't got a bad word to say about 'Knives Out'.… Expand

The Thrombeys, are what seems to be defined as a dysfuncional family; corrupted with conflicts of wealth and fortune. As much as they hate each other, they wouldn't miss an evening to celebrate their beloved pop's birthday.
Harlan ThrombeyThe Thrombeys, are what seems to be defined as a dysfuncional family; corrupted with conflicts of wealth and fortune. As much as they hate each other, they wouldn't miss an evening to celebrate their beloved pop's birthday.
Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is a successful mystery novelist; mainly introduced as the beholder of the family's wealth and fortune. He was found dead with his throat slit and blood flowing from the sofa to the floor of his office, in the morning after his 85th birthday.
Official reports of his death stated that it was a suicide, but an anonymous tipper sent a letter to Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig), believing that the truth may say otherwise. The letter is what led this famous detective to join on the investigation. Blanc together with two policemen (LaKeith Stanfield and Noah Segan) endeavor to unveil the mystery of the sudden death, and making everybody a suspect to be further questioned.The whole family might not be proven guilty of murder yet, but they're surely guilty of hiding unforgiving secrets and taking advantage of Harlan's wealth for their own pleasure.
Blanc might not get truth out of the Thrombeys, but one thing he knows for sure. There is one who can't lie without feeling the need to vomit, and that is Marta Cabrera (Ana de Armas); Harlan's personal carer and nurse whom the Thrombeys call her as part of the family.
"Knives Out" is such an amusing story with a good laugh and tension, and full of unexpected plot twists. It is as if it's telling the audience exactly what happened and making us feel like we already know who is the obvious culprit. It turns out, we're just as clueless as many of the characters in this movie.
This Mystery/comedy movie by Rian Johnson is quite a masterpiece. Not only because of its fascinating casts, but also the well-directed and thought-out storyline that keeps people hooked. The movie begins with an establishing shot designed to inform the audience where the action will take place, and showing the relationship between the objects shown with the main character in the movie. It takes place in a a gothic revival mansion, creating the mood for a perfect mystery house. The interiors of the house is decorated with creepy props from unusual looking dolls, medieval statues, to the iconic knife sculpture; perfect for portraying the personality of Harlan Thrombey as a man of dark humor and mystery. All the technical process of this film is brilliant, from the placement of each props, blocking of each characters, the framing and the color palette of the house, made every scene aesthetically pleasing. The most significantly important piece is the painting of Harlan. It gives a statement that although Harlan might have died in the beginning of the movie, the painting of him figuratively says that he still owns the house and rules the family, and the sense that he is still looking down at them.
I say that it's fair that this movie has such high ratings and received many awards and nominations, for instance IMDb rated an 8 out of 10 and also an 82 in metascore universal acclaim. It's acceptable because I do feel like all the elements in the movie combined, creates this really entertaining story. In conclusion, I recommend this movie as a must-watch.… Expand

The script was also written by Rian Johnson. The actors who played their roles are Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson among others.

The plot reveals mutual relations in the family of an author of detective novels. By writing them, he made his fortune. As a result of his finance, wealth interest his family members. Every one of his relatives has their own reasons. The events in the movie are disclosed steadily, telling the story of every character, their conflicts and mutual relations between every member of the family.

The movie received several nominations. I wish also positively to acknowledge the acting of Daniel Craig and Jamie Lee Curtis. You will probably like this movie if you are fan of detective novels and movies. 'Knives Out' is a great one.

Multiple mysteries and twists and turns intertwined throughout the movie but for the most part if you are paying attention there are hints along the way which makes the ending make sense.

The Bad:
As clever as Mr Blanc is depicted a lot of his conclusions were based upon people remembering the exact wording of conversations from an emotional night that happened days beforehand. And as most scientists will agree eye-witness testimony and human memory are some of the weakest forms of evidence.

Final Thoughts:
An enjoyable movie, at times I was certain I knew the answers to the mystery, and at times my guesses were accurate only for another spanner to then be thrown into the works which added another layer to the overall mystery. Would recommend giving this a watch if you have a couple spare hours and will be very interested to see what happens in the announced sequel.

Score:
7.5 out of 10 pineapples!… Expand

trzyma w napięciu do samego końca dobrze skonstruowaną intrygą oraz barwnymi postaciami. Rian Johnson w czystej postaci i świetny hołd dla mistrzów kryminału jak na przykład Agatha Christie

Such a great movie. I am glad that Rian Johnson was able to learn from his mistakes from The Last Jedi. No need to listen to angry fanboys who are still crying because Rian Johnson "ruined their childhood".

Within the past handful of years Johnson has become one of my top 5 directors. In his minimal career so far, he has managed to capture my love of film every time.

In his minimal career so far, he has managed to capture my love of film every time. Whether it’s his first film Brick or Looper or even The Last Jedi, Johnson just has a way of engaging me that few directors do. Knives Out is without hesitation my favorite film of 2019. Is the best? Maybe, maybe not. Someone could argue Joker or The Irishman or maybe even Marriage Story, but for me Johnson’s throw back to noire mystery was absolutely everything I wanted in a film.

There are so many turns you don’t see coming, and even some you do and as time goes on Johnson leaves you dangling on the string time and time again. It was one of my favorite experiences in the theater this year and I couldn’t recommend it more. The entire cast was perfect. Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Toni Colette, and Chris Evans show just why they are some of Hollywood’s elite. And, Daniel Craig is absolutely sublime. Trust me, when I say - go see this on the big screen.… Expand

plenty of twists to make me glued to the very end. great character play by all actors. James bond was enjoyable to watch. Ana de Armas played the character very well, and I'm very shocked she's not in more movies.

A romp through classic murder mystery, but with enough fresh takes to be exciting. Every separate part of this movie delights. I was even able to come to accept, and then love, Daniel Craig's southern drawl.
