It's never boring but take a few steps back and it falls apart.

Rating: 6/10 (10 February 2020)

When I was watching this movie I enjoyed most of the dialogue the character interactions but then when it was all said and done I realized it didn't amount to much. There were way too many convenient plot devices that made it seem a little contrived. I think the whole thing fell apart at the end when to me it stopped being believable and turned a little silly.
Rian Johnson is probably one of the most politically correct filmmakers in Hollywood right now and I think that greatly limits the effectiveness of his movies because of the rules he sets for himself. I think there were a lot of good opportunities squandered in Knives Out. There were some very interesting characters that were wasted in the favor of the story being focused on a very bland albeit pretty one. For me it just ultimately didn't deliver a satisfying experience, mostly entertaining but forgettable. 6/10
