  • Knives Out was superbly written, builds a great mystery, and has an A+ cast. The movie is well-paced and keeps you guessing until the end. Daniel Craig thrives as the investigator Benoit Blanc. I'm thrilled that they continued the movie series with Glass Onion, and I can't wait until the third one.

  • Knives Out is such a thrilling mystery story that keeps you guessing until the final reveal. Honestly a near perfect movie in my opinion and I don't think I'd change anything about it even if I could.

  • A modern mystery masterpiece. Knives Out is wonderfully layered, both visually and narratively, from flashback discrepancies, hints nestled deep in dialogue, and actions being snuck into the background that just miss you on your first viewing. Pair this with one of the strongest casts giving their all, and you get one of Rian Johnson's finest.

  • rian Johnson absolutely knocks in out of the park with this one. Career best performance from Ana de Armas, and a great cast overall. Entertaining, great script, and keeps you guessing. Glass Onion may be even more creative, but Knives Out is fantastic.

  • One of my favorite movies of all time. This is an ensemble murder comedy where every single piece is important, and every single piece fits perfectly. I hope Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig make 500 of these until the sun burns us to dust.
