First film I saw alone in theatre

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2019)

Knives out is the first film ever in my life which I was the only person in theatre. I knew there won't be crowd to watch this because it's a content driven film and not any comic book or franchise film. Why I wanted to see knives out was for Chris Evans. I am his fan since he played captain America. He made that character iconic. Usually Chris Evans non MCU films(whether lead or supporting roles) don't do well critically or commercially. But when knives out got critical acclaim, I got ready to book my ticket. I had to book my ticket in advance so that they don't cancel the show. I came for 5:30 show but film they were not playing after 5 minutes. I had to call the operator and make him play and he played it.
Now coming to the film, knives out is a murder mystery where Daniel Craig has come to investigate the death of a murder mystery novelist. I am used to watch mystery thrillers so I am familiar with its format. Knives out follows the exact format but suspense was revealed in the middle itself. It has a ensemble cast and everyone have performed well. Daniel Craig was enjoying a lot playing Benoit blanc. Ana de armas got a meaty role and has played well the sincere caretaker. Veterans Jamie Lee Curtis and Michael Shannon kept their names. Now coming to the man for whom I had to sit in an empty theatre. When Evans appeared I was so happy. He made the film more enjoyable. It was good that he didn't get lost among all the stalwarts.
But, I had issue with the ending which could have been better. Many of the things done went in vain.
But I recommend knives out for murder mystery fans. Rian Johnson compensated for the hatred he received for last jedi with knives out.
