Great story, poor marketing

Rating: 6/10 (20 December 2019)

Rian Johnson proved once again that he is an above average director. He wrote a fun story with an interesting protagonist in Marta and a very Poirot-esque character in Benoit Blanc. They had a fun chemistry and created a fun story for the viewers.
The reason I'm giving this 6/10 is because it didn't ever feel like a true "whodunnit". Without spoiling anything, I'll say that you never feel like you're trying to figure out who the culprit of the crime is. The ending was sloppy and rushed. It didn't contribute to the actual plot and it felt like an add-in.
They advertised this film as a love song to Agatha Christie, but I disagree. With Christie, you were always guessing about who could have committed the murder, but with Knives Out, I never had that feeling. If it had been marketed differently (and therefore adjusted my expectations), I would have enjoyed it much more.
