Knives Out

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2020)

"Knives Out," (2019). Directed and written by Rian Johnson. Starring, Christopher Plummer, Daniel Craig, Don Johnson, and Jamie Lee Curtis. This is a movie worth watching several times! In fact, it reminded me of sitting in front of our brand new 1952 Philco black and white snowy, stripey first tv, watching a 40s "The Butler Did It" film. Complete with a New Orleans creepy mansion and a cast of devious and deceitful characters. And a convoluted, intricate plot. It had more twists and turns than a dog's hind leg. But for me, my favorite character was Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig. Who would have thought that he could nail a Southern accent? I am thinking that the setting was supposed to be New Orleans, complete with architecture and props. However, Daniel's accent was not quite a Nawlins accent. But close enough! I loved this film. I give it 5 of 5 stars.
