Does a great job of keeping its cards close to its chest, thus demanding detective work of our own in order to piece the mystery together. This makes for a fun, engaging and incredibly active viewing experience that managed to keep this viewer guessing even when I felt I had figured everything out. And Benoit Blanc clearly needs his own tv show.

I really enjoyed it! The cast is stellar, some stand-outs being Daniel Craig and Chris Evans, with Ana de Armas almost stealing the entire show. Like a good who dunnit, the film manages to keep you guessing even when you think you know what happened or what's going on. It also has some decent humor thrown into the mix as well. Definitely one of this year's best and most entertaining films. Definitely go see it!

An unbelievably joyful watch that cackles with glee as it elevates the murder mystery genre while constantly upending your expectations and bombarding your brain with sharp and hilarious dialogue delivered by great performers (especially Craig and Ana de Armas) exquisite visuals and production design, sublime cutting and scoring, and a perfectly-layered mystery that constantly scatters its pieces across the board and lets you chase after them. Benoit Blanc is an icon.

Although Johnson winds up choosing sides in his 1-sided identity politics metaphor, the rest is fantastic, specifically bc he hides his partisanship until the very end. The rest is absolutely thrilling & suspenseful w/ Johnson piling on twist after twist (if anything, he overdoes it). I would've also preferred it if the detective were played by someone quirkier (more Peter Falk, less man-of-action) to enhance the comedy but it's still one of the most entertaining films I've ever seen.

A good-hearted, fun movie. Heavy on idiosyncrasies in the ensemble though not finding a way to fully utilize them. The story works in its use of its main character’s intentions. This provides a nice balance to what might otherwise feel like a convoluted machine of a plot. Humor works well and there’s some nice setup/payoff sprinkled throughout. I’m not sure if the subtext of illegal immigration does anything other than serve as a device, but it feels excusable. Solid entertainment

A murder mystery that is very well shot and stars Daniel Craig being gloriously hammy. It is consistently funny through dialogue and its editing. It also does some fun things thematically with the whodunnit genre that I won't describe so as not to spoil anything. The main point against the film is that it doesn't fully utilize the suspense inherent to the genre.

It goes down easily and has a couple of chuckles here and there but Johnson doesn't have a handle on what he wants - farcial twisting of whodunnit tropes or traditional mystery with humour. The performances range from bizarre (Craig) via grotesque (Collette) to sub-catatonic (Evans), with only Plummer effortlessly adding much-needed polish... why this was greeted with such a raft of hosannahs is beyond me, but I say that so often these days.

It's very lucky that de Armas who should have been Oscar nominated for this performance has enough charisma to even out how annoying Craig's role is. How to address my second-largest qualm about the film without spoiling it...? I guess I'll just say this: The whodunit is one of my favorite subgenres, and while the story is pretty well put together and I like that it's in some ways an anti-whodunit, I feel that it would've been more fun if it had stuck to the formula instead.

Exhausting. opens up introducing the family as if it's going to be an ensemble film, but we never learn anything about them after that and most of them mostly disappear. They're to-a-person horribly drawn characters. It feels like lots of their screentime ended up cut. Plummer is good, but a lot of the louder acting wears - especially Evans. The pacing is all off; information is just dumped on the audience when it needs to be - too much at the beginning and the end and not enough in between.

Awesome. Johnson not only sets up a brilliant whodunnit that resolves like clockwork, he uses his characters to give the plot some weight and meaning beyond just figuring out who died how. And he does it with such flair and humour. Craig is as meta-dangerously disarming as an acting Poirot, Stanfield a perfect straight man, and de Armas has somehow risen from horror movie extra to leading lady in less than five years, and I can't wait to see what she does next.

Knives Out succeeds by updating the murder-mystery formula, delivering an engaging story with plenty of comedic beats in unexpected places and a well-directed ensemble cast. Johnson retains the large country manor, character archetypes and foreign detective; but opts for a layered (over convoluted) plot, ensures none of the characters are vastly superior, adds a bit of action and a touch of social commentary about wealth and power. It's a witty, enjoyable film, though Craig's accent was suspect.

It's a film that, for much of its runtime, is squarely focused on conversations between people in a large house. And yet the camerawork is swift and fun, the compositions are stimulating, the dialogue is Dickensian, and the plot wants to make you feel smart before it tricks you. The second act experiences a small lull as the main cast is pushed aside, but the climax is as it should be for a classic whodunnit. Also, some really excellent subtext to boot. A wonderful time.

Hits all the right tropes of the classic locked room mystery without being too derivative, which seems to be a common trend for Johnson. Even if there's nothing new under the sun, Johnson has a knack for doing things well. "Knives Out" is a respectable movie and a decent mystery, but it begs the question, why make an Agatha Christie look-alike when a perfectly respectable, star studded "Murder on The Orient Express" came out only two years earlier?

I'm willing to be a little generous because I adore the cast, and even though the narrative took a somewhat-unconventional route (ie. revealing what happened to the victim relatively early on), I kinda gave myself to the magnetism of the movie and really suspended my disbelief. Could have been a little funnier to a wider audience but I was actually quite entertained by the under-the-radar, almost British-style humor. Remove a character or two to give more space to others and this is a home run.

I'm generalizing here, but from the onset, this immediately drives home the inferiority of both whodunits and American comedy as genres. The game of "Clue" which this movie mimics is about interactivity. It isn't known for being realistic, compelling or suspenseful, and it isn't funny. Flat caricatures are neither funny nor interesting characters, and I struggled to care which of them killed Christopher Plummer. The movie improves as it progresses, but it had pretty much lost me by then.

Less of a "who done it" and more of a "what exactly was *it* and *how will we know* who done it?". By changing that, it became a little more than a sum of its otherwise interesting sleuthy parts. Fun.

Cozy mystery film, nothing more and nothing less. Johnson is playful in his love for the genre, inventing twists and turns, that doesn't hurt the story, but doesn't add to it either. It does prevent the stellar cast doing a lot with their characters, and that is my main gripe.

What truly elevates this whodunnit is the sober recognition that the ideas registered herein as comic absurdities are not in actuality so far-fetched. Certainly these are caricatures - and very entertaining ones at that - but the resemblance is plain to see. There are entire swaths of people who blissfully have no regard for privilege and caste until it no longer suits them. It's a case of affluenza which draws as much from The Rules of the Game as it does Clue, Christie, and Hitchcock.

A little too much plot, a little too many characters, a little too much runtime, very great otherwise, but is suuuuuuuuper super super unsubtle about, you know, its subtext and stuff. Like, I get why you'd have the Poirot stand-in explain the plot. But here he literally explains the main characters theme to the main character... Ana de Armas walking into a dark and scary laundromat by herself made me smile. :) Another great example of how cinematic DV can look.

Starts with a fun and crafty story, but where it really shines is the scene chewing performances. Toni Collette and Don Johnson were particularly enjoyable, and I don't think I've ever seen Craig play such a character before. Only small complaint was a stretch that dragged a bit because of the unusual story structure, but I'm not sure it could have been pulled off without it.

Johnson constructs a great whodunit, mining a major trope of the genre (the secrets that come with being upper class) for all its political and personal conflict. Ana de Armas is amazing and sympathetic, playing a convenient punching bag for the family's problematic bigotry. The picture loses some steam in the middle as the mystery stops for a moment. But things kick into high gear at the end as the mystery is solved--with a fun last sequence that reaffirms the decency in the world.

After the disaster that was The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson is back to form with a very entertaining murder mystery. Nothing out of the ordinary, but very well made with good acting. There's some self-aware subversion of the genre, but it's never obnoxious. Only blemish are the gratuitous political jokes that will be outdated by the time the movie is available for streaming.

A decent, albeit, predictable mystery film with some solid performances but falls short of being great. The framing of the mystery is interesting, but due to the way information is revealed the culprit is too obvious. The dysfunctional family dynamic is really good but is put to the side for the mystery which, honestly, isn't as engaging as the other elements presented in the film. I also wasn't too big on the cinematography; the presentation was cheesy in how it conveyed certain ideas.

I clearly did not love this like other people did, but I certainly didn't hate it. There were some dips where I wasn't that entertained, but it did redeem itself. It has an amazing cast but the problem was that almost none of them had enough to do. They almost all deserved more. Ana de Armas was a pleasant standout. I'm not sure what I expected exactly from the actual mystery but even though it was solid enough, I was still a little disappointed. Didn't feel that suspenseful.

The sore of fare that you'd have thought Rian would be directing after "Brick" (2005). It is tons of fun for the most part, but slowly lets the eccentricity of it's cast fizzle out as the 2nd act devolves into a far less ambitious cat-and-mouse game that excludes the most interesting characters; namely those played by Michael Shannon and Toni Collette. Could've been a classic with a bit more chaos.

With murder mysteries, like magic tricks, you want to figure it out but not actually figure it out. Knives out, even with its entertaining pace somehow allows the mind to linger too long on some puzzles and actually reveal too much.

Johnson is clearly poking fun at the genre, which is all well and good if it makes for an enjoyable film, alas this film falls well short of providing that experience for this viewer. Not very well written with poor editing and with an inconsistent visual style (some of the camera angles seem to be used for no clear purpose). The only interesting aspect of the film is the Peircean nature of Blanc's approach to inquiry.

A perfect whodunnit. While traditional whodunnits rely on the audience knowing as much as the lead detective, they somehow pulled off showing (what you think is) the big reveal to the audience in the first half of the story... only to find out that there's more to it than that. It's beautifully shot. The acting is fantastic. There's so much substance to this film; the second watch had me finding all these easter eggs that I missed the first time around.

An engaging and hilarious whodunnit with one of its biggest twists being an early reveal and a shift in the point of tension that works wonderfully well and adds a good heaping of heart to the already whip-smart script (see the knife line tie-in at the end, the return of the mug in one of the best final shots I've ever seen). The final twist is well-drawn but a little drawn-out, but that's the only misstep in this marvelously decorated, cleverly edited, and perfectly acted mystery/family drama.

Ana de Armas becomes a freaking star and Daniel Craig is definitely a donut hole of acting goodness. The tropes and expectations are subtly subverted (like the maid discovering the body and NOT dropping the tray) and the political commentary was also aces. A very fun romp. Will see again.

An ensemble cast for the ages shines in a mystery plot with plenty of twists and turns that worked despite me feeling one step ahead of the film well before the big explanatory reveal. Gets excellent mileage out of the genre tropes and Daniel Craig's Foghorn-Leghorn impression will either grow on you or grate on you. Armas really impresses. Highlights are a Michael Shannon V. Don Johnson slap fight, Craig waxing poetic about donuts, and a grade-A retractable knife gag.

the issue with the whodunnit is that the expectations of the genre are such that the audience will run through every possible permutation of killer and motive, and for it to be truly shocking, it must be one they miss. this isn't the case here; however, every element of the film works, and even if the film's narrative undermines that suspense, there is no shortage of joy in watching it. I've never seen an actor have as much fun as Daniel Craig does here.

Knew I was in for a rollicking good time from the first moment Craig hit that piano. Johnson brings his gleeful genre-play to the whodunnit to great effect. The script is a hoot, knowing exactly when to subvert the expectations (A dirty word nowadays) of the genre and when to play into them. The movie also has a patent contemporaneous political edge that might age the movie, but felt approriately pointed. The murderous row of actors are delightful, especially Craig (donuts), Evans and de Armas.

Due to its excellent cast and clever writing Knives Out delivers not your average by the numbers whodunit but subverts expectations and keeps you guessing until the very end.Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas especially shine here.Also if you pay close attention you will be able to enjoy a lot of small payoffs that get set up earlier in the film.

The more I think about it, the more I liked it. Carried the suspense and characteristic atmosphere throughout the movie. Armas was superb - Craig not so much. *Very good

Really good fun and a nice twist on familiar concepts. Ana de Armas is a goddamn movie star and no one has had more fun on screen this year than Daniel Craig.

A fairly fun who-dunnit that's basic, but not pretentious, and has the right amount of 'subverted expectations'. As enjoyable as the story is, it's the characters who are a problem: the film fawns over its lead, making her 101% flawless, to the point where she seems unreal -- in a film where all other characters are unreal stereotypes, a main character who I can identify with would be nice.

Didn't LOVE it like everyone else. But some fun, especially the doughnut bit. Liked that all of the clues are revealed at the end. Could have been a lot funnier though. And points for pissing off the red hats.

So much fun. I loved the overblown characterizations (Craig and Collette were my favorites), the magnificently crowded setting in the house (reminded me of Sleuth), and Johnson's clever (and ethically robust) handling of the central characters.

A lot of fun, great cast, plays with the genre well, the right amount of humour, and quirkiness. Keeps you guessing without making you feel deceived when all is revealed.

Amazing acting and fun characters. 1st act is a little clumsy till the twist and turns start kicking in. Then its a fun ride that flies by. The cast looks like they're having fun in the movie and that carries through to their performances.

Fun old-fashioned whodunit. Just beware, I was expecting more comedy and though it is funny and quirky at times, it really is a murder mystery. Daniel Craig shined.

Deliciously funny. The first thirty minutes or so is as giddily entertaining as anything I’ve seen this year. Rian Johnson gets a little too laser-focused on the plot after that, but laughs still abound. The cast is just sensationally fun. There’s some slightly eye-rolling virtue-signaling in the last third (take a drink every time you hear the phrase “good person”), but this was a blast and I look forward to revisiting it.

Daniel Craig with a Southern accent is... interesting, but otherwise this is a fun little mystery tale that almost always manages to entertain. Funny and full of some great twists. Probably Johnson's best so far.

Energetic murder mystery that strikes a good balance between tongue-in-cheek and heart-on-sleeve, with a high-caliber ensemble that helps make the case that the best Hollywood Chris is Plummer.

While it’s fairly clever in its own merit, Knives Out is a great case of damn near perfect execution. Rian Johnson’s full potential is on display between his ideology and metaphorical representation of today’s society that may be too on the nose, but definitely isn’t overbearing. It plays into a few silly tropes, but manages to also blend them well into some solid little twists throughout. My only complaint is I think the film showed its hand a little too early, but once again, great execution.

"The 'finale' is a drag, but the rest of the movie works quite well in it's blattant thickness and theatrical exaggaration. To my surprise I find myself laughing genuinly about Craig in funny clothing doing a funny voice with a funny face. Apparantly he IS funny...?"

I just find this to be such a delightful mix of mystery, humour, tension and character-driven plot I can’t help but give it a fantastically high score. It’s just fun rolled up into a tight ball that I wanna toss into the wild expanse of my estates garden.

Unrealistic and corky and yet entertaining. Also, kinda nice twist (a bit dragged and again unrealistic but ok) I had a good time with it. The cinematic details were nice it was a good-looking movie overall with a big cast.

Well filmed, but overall a terribly obnoxious movie that is both dimwitted and patronizing. Other than Christopher Plummer, this film made me lose a lot of respect for all of the other actors. With a few exceptions, they all overact in playing their hoity toity characters, presumably because they're desperately trying to not be revealed as the very people they're satirizing. It's cringeworthy. Aside from putting me to sleep, it did nothing to entertain me.
