After his much maligned direction of The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson is back with a new movie and it is also written by him. Knives Out has a strong cast and if you like classic whodunits? like the old school TV series, Murder she wrote, Poirot, Sherlock Holmes( not the Guy Ritchie one) or even enjoy playing the classic board game, Cluedo. You have to give this movie a try.
Like I mentioned earlier, the cast is strong. You have the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, Chris Evans and Daniel Craig in a movie and everyone had enough screen time to show what they have got. I liked the pace of the movie and the script was well written. I couldn't stop laughing when Frank Oz appears as a cameo. Christopher Plummer looked great and in shape.In fact the actress who is playing his mother is younger than him. You might remember him as Von Trapp in Sound of Music. Something a little unusual but Daniel Craig's accent in this movie is hilarious. I do hope to see another Daniel Craig's character, Benoit Blanc in yet another whodunit cos he was entertaining to watch.
Not much for anything but you have to focus on the lines and acting for Knives Out. I have to give credit to Rian Johnson for this. It is also best to watch the movie with subtitles so you can pay close attention.
All in all, Knives out movie was fun to watch and I think as long as Rian Johnson continue to do movies that are not Star Wars related, he would do just fine.
