About this movie

Acclaimed writer and director Rian Johnson (Brick, Looper, Star Wars: The Last Jedi) pays tribute to mystery mastermind Agatha Christie in KNIVES OUT, a fresh, modern-day murder mystery where everyone is a suspect. When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is found dead at his estate just after his 85th birthday, the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is mysteriously enlisted to investigate. From Harlan's dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan's untimely death. With an all-star ensemble cast including Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford and Jaeden Martell, KNIVES OUT is a fun, witty and stylish whodunit guaranteed to keep audiences guessing until the very end.

Hugely overrated, an entirely charmless experience, proof if ever there was that an all star cast can still make for an awful film, Daniel Craig miss cast with an awful supposed deep south U.S accent that will have you drying your teeth at almost every line. A bad show indeed. watch murder on the Orient Express instead.

If, for some reason, you find yourself craving a whodunnit - you can possibly satiate yourself with this howdunnit instead. The allstar cast is a true red herring as it does nothing for the film, even though the script and characterisations suggest that so much more could have be made of them. The directing is a little heavy-handed too, or perhaps it is pastiche which missed the mark and I didn't get it. All in, it is mildly entertaining at best, with an insipid moral woven in for good measure.
