Knives out is one interesting movie I would love to talk about, I enjoyed watching every scene, it kept me on my toes and had me guessing and asking myself what happens next.
Knives out is a movie by Rian Johnson with Daniel Craig, Edi Patterson, Chris Evans, Ana De Armas as actors. This movie was inspired by a novel by Agatha Christie, it isn't based on any of her books though.
(Christopher Plummer) Harlan Thrombey who is a wealthy crime novelist is found dead in his study after his 85th birthday by his housekeeper Martha(Ana De Armas) and his family members were brought together and questioned one after the other. The experienced detective Benoit (Daniel Craig) was called to unravel the case and find his killer.
This movie is a very good one and the title is so suitable, when there's a family gathering, everyone has something good and bad to say about people they don't like, many family secrets begin to flow especially when murder is involved. No one wants to be found guilty so they trash talk and point accusing fingers at each other.
Every scene comes with its own unique dialogue, the plot twist is just extraordinary, when you think you have it all figured out, something else pops up and you end up like "oh, what's going on?". It's just a one of a kind mystery and I love the way it all came together, i kept guessing and looking for clues till the very end.
For me, this movie has high marks in everything, story line, production, set, cast, directing, location, the word play, cinematography, everything was perfectly chosen. I really loved how the detective revealed the loopholes and found flaws in each story he heard.
My favourite characters have to be Ana De Armas and Daniel Craig, their characters were beautifully written and they acted out the role perfectly, Daniel Craig did good with his accent too, every other person did great with their roles.
I think Late Thrombey knew his meds were switched on purpose that's why he did what he did to protect Martha, I really don't want to spoil the movie.
Again, this movie made me realise that a lot of innocent people are in jail because detectives make mistakes, they aren't patient enough and they leave out tiny pieces of evidence somewhere.
Would I change anything? No, the movie was perfect, it was funny, brilliant and refreshing at the same time. Will I watch again? Hell yes, I've watched it four times already 😂😂. Every movie has flaws but I couldn't find any major flaw on this one, although it became slow at some point but not boring. I'll rate it 8/10, it's a must watch
