More Twists Than SF Lombard Street

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2019)

Knifes Out has more twists and turns than San Francisco's curvy Lombard Street. Once you think you've figured out who did this mysterious killing of an 85-year-old crime novelist, then your thoughts are discarded and you immediately think another suspect did the mortal deed.
Knives Out is a clever movie with an honest, plausible script. The actors are brilliant, and the dialogue is top-notch. But for those who get uncomfortable with an excessively talkie setting (and what who-done-it movie doesn't have a lot of dialogue), then this film may not be for you.
Knifes Out has its merits, and it is entertaining. As far as breaking new ground, this one isn't it. But pay attention to the curves in the plot and you might find yourself richly rewarded.
