Why I enjoyed "Knives Out"

Rating: Null/10 (31 December 2019)

"Knives Out" is surprising in many ways. I just want to start off by saying that this was an enjoyable movie that doesn't get too serious, and also works on so many levels as a comedy. Everyone in this movie was cast perfectly. They all played the roles well and it made for one hell of a movie. Going into this movie, I was expecting it to be somewhat of an Agatha Christie novel-esque kind of mystery. I am surprisingly glad, to say that it wasn't like that. It was more of it's own movie, and that's something that lately, isn't seen in Hollywood. The story and the script were so well done that it makes me wish that more originality was present in movies. This year, it was scarce to see a successful movie that wasn't a sequel or based on an existing source material. I think that the box office and critical success of films like this one, should encourage more people to write original scripts and just take those chances. "Knives Out" defies any negative ideas about the murder-mystery genre and should be a film that isn't duplicated, but rather inspires others to give existing genres the twist they need in order to produce better movies.
