The PERFECT Murder Mystery...

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2019)

A loving nod to "Clue" here, a memory of "Murder by Death" there and stir together with some "Death on the Nile" and "And then there were None" and you have the epitome of the murder mystery genre - and that's what "Knives Out" is. From the constantly autumnal surroundings, casting dark shadows through every twisted hallway of the house to the lineup of classic suspects this is literally a perfect murder mystery. And what does the genre almost always call for? A twist. And with this film you have a twist within a twist within a twist. Or a donut within a donut hole within a donut... that'll make sense when you see the film.
