Vastly Underrated

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2019)

I'm a huge murder mystery fan, and I originally wasn't going to see this movie DUE TO the rating that was on long before the movie came out to the general public. I'm so glad I didn't listen.
Rian Johnson's Knives Out is a perfectly entertaining thriller/mystery movie, with an all-star cast, a compelling and intriguing plot, and a very poor accent from Daniel Craig. That being said, the minor plot holes and slip-ups this movie inevitably has are no excuse to give it a low rating, as its job is accomplished with fluency and elegance. I was interested the whole way through, and even if the ending wasn't the biggest plot twist in the world, I found the first and second act to be even bigger plot twists which more than made up for it.
All in all, the movie delivers on an entertaining, not-so-family-friendly mystery that should leave you walking out satisfied. I'm happy to see the movie's true ratings are coming out as we speak and they are getting higher and higher. This is worth your time and money.
