Great Agatha Christie style mystery

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2019)

Ladies and gentleman, Rian Johnson has done it! He cracked the formula of Agatha Christie's novels! In fact, what he did is more true to the core of these novels than recent adaptations like The Orient Express.
The whodunnit story, even with all its twists and turns, is quite logical. There's no impossible coincidence, impossibly-clever mastermind, incredible timing or other deus ex machina tropes.
Daniel Craig is also superb. His pompous Benoit Blanc detective, with his peculiar accent and mannerisms is really a better Hercule Poirot than Kenneth Branagh's actual Porot in the Orient Express, which was a caricature.
Above all, this appears to a film everyone involved really enjoyed making it.
In this age of superheroes and explosions and mindless action, Knives Out stands out. I really wish there were more like it.
