My Opinion : One of if not the most well realized whodunnit type crime thriller of the last few decades. Knives Out is beyond just style and substance, it’s near genius. Every character is well fleshed out and are never sure of who the murderer is, who the villain is and furthermore. Though i’d have to say that about halfway we are met with some exciting new material outside the claustrophobic home and it took me roughly five minutes to figure out who the villain really is, but the film still was this close to outsmarting me. Finally the main protagonist is extremely like able even though she seems more human and heartfelt then the rest of the suspects that all feel like they’re another character in a cluedo game which is exactly what we’re looking for here. Finally Daniel Craig is absolutely hilarious.
