entertaining and creative

Rating: 7/10 (12 February 2020)

I was expecting knives out to leave a bigger impression on me than it did but it still remains a really good film.
the clear strengths are the writing and the acting. the Agatha Christie-esque plot is incredibly well though and planned by rian johnson and works perfectly judging by the unexpected outcome of the investigation.
other than that, it's not a film that kept me on the edge of my seat or glued to the screen in any big way. I think that's because johnson's writing let's the viewer believe they know everything there is to know very early on and you onyl realise how much there was by the end.
even if this does make the twist ending all the more surprising, it doesn't keep the viewer that motivated to get to the end in my experience.
