Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2020)

Rian Johnson's "Knives Out" is a brilliant twist on a typical murder mystery by changing up classic tropes with the way it tells us the mystery and the way it switches genres makes it masterful. It has a well pieced together mystery and instead of leaving you thinking about whodunit it tells you very early in the movie while the rest of the story is more about the others finding out and about other pieces to the overall puzzle so it naturally allows you to enjoy the movie more instead of having you constantly thinking about whodunit. "Knives Out" also has one of the best cast of characters and actors all playing their own unique role to their best. Added to everything "Knives Out" is thrilling, hilarious, and beautifully shot making it a modern murder mystery whodunit masterpiece.
