Knives Out
horizontal line

After a wealthy, highly successful, famous, obstinate, idiosyncratic, 85-year-old, mystery writing crime novelist (Christopher Plummer) is found at his grand mansion with his throat slashed by his longtime housekeeper (Edi Patterson) in Rian Johnson's delightful, taut, well-written, superbly acted, entertaining, hilarious, twist-filled, unpredictable, star-dotted (M. Emmet Walsh, Frank Oz, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Raúl Castillo Jr., and K. Callan), 130-minute, whodunit comedic satire reminiscent of Agatha Christie's work, a Sherlock-clever, charming, accent-heavy private investigator (Daniel Craig) and two police lieutenants (LaKeith Stanfield and Noah Segan) begin the interrogation of the dysfunctional, snobbish, entitled family members, including adult children (Jamie Lee Curtis and Michael Shannon), in-laws (Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Riki Lindhome, et al.), and the grandkids (Chris Evans, Katherine Langford, and Jaeden Martell), and his kindhearted, Latina caretaking nurse (Ana de Armas).
