It's so much fun. It knows what type of movie it is and delivers. The story kept me on my toes. The ensemble cast is terrific. Chris Evans having a blast playing an asshole, Ana de Armas is great, and Daniel Craig playing a detective with a funny accent is a treat. I want to see this again knowing the plot so I can look for all the subtle foreshadowing. After a rewatch I am even more impressed with how good the script is and how much is set up and paid off. This one is of the better movies of the year.

The trailer is totally misleading. It has a montage of different scenes that if you put them together they are fun and clever but that is. The movie was nothing like that, not remotely funny, an meh mystery, total waist of the cast, the jokes were a bit dud. And the big twist totally underwhelming. Literally nothing to keep you at the edge of the seat. I totally fine example of a "good promotion" of a over hyped and overated movie.

I'll be honest, after the rave reviews this film received, I was expecting more. It's still enjoyable and I had a good time watching it, but some of the cast was wasted, and its not the Agatha Christie beater that it was sometimes made out to be. Despite my gripes, it is well worth watching.

Knives Out perhaps is not the best written movie out in this year, but surely it is one among the most entertaining.

Saying the film is predictable is not wrong, but it is missing the point. Just toward the first halves the film dropped plenty of clues toward pointing the suspect of the crime, bu More

_Knives Out_ disappointed me, it’s cliched and not as clever as those it pays homage to. 2019 is really the wave of “woke” American movies that think they're way more clever than they actually are.

Every character is an exaggerated stereotype of some sort, shallow caricatures. The good More

[9.4/10] A good mystery has to do a lot to be, well, good. It has to have a satisfying answer to the “whodunnit” question. But that answer can’t be too predictable or the audience won’t have the thrill of following along. But it also can’t be too out of left field or it will feel like a ch More

**A novel written specifically for a dramatic work**

The story of the movie is simply that we have a person murdered and a group of people suspected of being involved in killing this person because they all have an interest or benefit that this person should die. The movie is simply ask who killi More
