Interesting take on the Whodunnit genre

Rating: 8/10 (1 December 2019)

As a fan of Agatha Christis novels as well as TV shows from the 90s such as Columbo, I can say I was pretty surprised by how good this movie was. I cannot remember seeing anything close to the Whodunnit stories I have read/seen back in the day. But Knives Out takes the cake, today. Along with a fun performance by a remarkable cast of A listers, Rian Johnson delivered a coherent and entertaining story for the genre, even taking it one step further - without getting into any spoilers.
I judge a whodunnit movie on my capability to guess who the murderer is. The easiest it is to guess, the weakest the story. In that case, I was blown away by how the truth unfolded in such a surprising yet organic way. It just worked.
I would recommend this movie for anyone really. It is fun, enjoyable and interesting. In a way it uses its characters to reflect various human flaws such as greed and pride, and uses the non linear narration to construct a consistent and convincing product.
Big Up!
