One of the movies to end the year and decade with, Knives Out does well to balance its comic and serious aspects and deliver an impressive murder mystery/dark humor story.

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2019)

Going into the film, there was not much I knew about it except for the genre it was categorized under, which was murder/mystery dark humor mix, as well as family drama, which makes up for part of the film's humor. The summary is really all there is one needs to know to get into this film. That and the fact that it's a pretty substantial and provides a very entertaining premise.
Acting was superb. Chris Evans (Ransom Drysdale), Daniel Craig (Benoit Blanc), and Ana de Armas (Marta Cabrera) really fit well in the roles of their quirky characters. The supporting cast playing the family members do well to contrast each other in order to create a family that's seemingly cares for each other on the surface.
There are also undertones of politics which I believe to be done tastefully, enough to add (flavor) to the film's narrative and characters' personalities, but not to the point where it ruins the enjoyability factor by cramming political opinions and ideas down people's throats.
This film is a sure highlight for the year and deserves at least an award nomination, particularly for its writing and directing.
