A slow burn with a great deal of fun along the way. Knives out is a modern Agatha Christie

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2020)

If you ever read Agatha Christie, she can seem wordy, slow to reveal and just when you are getting bored drag you back into an enormously terrific plot. 'Knives Out' plays out like a game of clue or hide and go seek. Just when you think you have Mr Mustard in the Living Room with the Candle Stick your wrong!
Do not expect a fast paced, heart pumping gotcha movie, it is a slow paced, well thought out mystery with lots of little turns and twists that even when you pay attention you missed the true story. Although it is slow it is not without its wit and humor. There are great laughs and well played characters you will not soon forget. If anything, Daniel Craig's Kentucky Fried accent will make you giggle more than once.
The plot is deceptive and obvious all at once and makes for a good ride. Just when you think you have it all, there is more. Even when you think it is all over there is still more....and the laughs continue as well.
I really enjoyed "Knives Out" for it's change of pace. It was dramatic, witty and fun. A good popcorn movie to enjoy and make you think.....
