If you have been looking for a film
that is a Clue! board game come to life, look no further than Knives
Out. This is the ultimate stylized whodunit, chock full of
mystery, misleads and mayhem. Detective Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig,
is a more-luck-than-wit detective, trying to uncover the truth of how a wealthy
patriarch and mystery writer extraordinaire met his untimely demise. The list
of suspects: all of his relatives who were at his 85th birthday bash the night
of his death. Detective Benoit Blanc, with the help of Harlan’s nurse, Marta,
slowly untangles family secrets and hidden motives. This film is chock full of
hilarity as well as intrigue.
I love it when films throw together
a bunch of odd, larger-than life characters played by actors with theatrical
panache. From Daniel Craig donning a southern accent to the energetic Jamie Lee
Curtis and smart aleck Chris Evans — This film is a quirky Whodunit that fits
the bill!
Directed by Rian Johnson, Knives
Out stars an eclectic blend of long-time heavy hitters such as
Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, and
Christopher Plummer.
The characters, alone, are
eccentric and delightful to watch. The plot is captivating and definitely has
you guessing until the very end. Can you unravel the mystery before detective
Benoit Blanc does? Watch Knives
Out to find out!
