A great new 'whodunnit' with a star studded cast

Rating: 8/10 (7 December 2019)

After exploding the internet with the controversial even if slightly underrated 'the Last Jedi' Rian Johnson is back at it again with the murder mystery 'Knives Out'. Daniel Craig leads an all star cast of characters as a Detective with a southern drawl and many other big names such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Toni Collette and more build up a set of quirky suspects to the murder of the Family patriarch (Christopher Plummer). Each of them have a motive and it's up to Craig to find the culprit. Some interesting information is revealed much earlier than expected and from there Rian Johnson subverts our expectations again and again (more successfully than in Star Wars) creating a pretty great 'Clue' like mystery that keeps you on your toes with Plenty of laughs and a standout performance from Daniel Craig. 8/10
