When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is found dead at his estate just after his 85th birthday, the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is mysteriously enlisted to investigate. From Harlan’s dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan’s untimely death. With an all-star ensemble cast including Chris Evans, Ana De Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford and Jaeden Martell, Knives Out is a witty and stylish whodunit guaranteed to keep audiences guessing until the very end.

Wife and I just saw this and we both loved it. Great ensemble cast. It's a solid whodunit with some very comedic moments. Some really great performances.

There aren't enough good mysteries made anymore. This one was very fun.

Fantastic movie, and one that didn't quite follow the course I was expecting.

 

[AZ Native]

We saw it tonight. I agree with all the above comments.

 

[Chaplin]

Saw this at the Alamo Drafthouse in downtown Austin and it was fantastic.

 

[Covert Rain]

This is the type of movie Rian Johnson should stick to. This was great.

This was excellent. Fun.

upon 2nd viewing, i was blown away by the subtlest of subtle foreshadowing laced in almost every line. still think it was a little predictable as to who the big bad was, but still a hell of a lot of fun and with a searing social message layered throughout.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

I definitely enjoyed it.

I noticed that when watching as well, there really isn't a throwaway line or scene - almost everything is dinner with intention that fits in

The acting was great.

Way a little different as there wasn't any real suspense or big action moments throughout the movie - it really isn't a thriller where you have these tense moments throughout

Just fun and really well done

There aren't enough good mysteries made anymore. This one was very fun.

Agreed. I love mysteries, especially when there is humor mixed in. Reminded me of my favorite childhood book, The Westing Game.
