Knives Out [DVD]

Knives Out is a PG-13 murder mystery/whodunit film written and directed by Rian Johnson. It follows the story of famous private detective Benoit Blanc, who is called to investigate the mysterious death of bestselling crime author Harlan Thrombey, which was initially ruled out as suicide. Still, Benoit is not so sure and must interrogate Thrombey's large and unconventional family to find out the truth about how he died. The film is very cunning and cleverly written; every scene has you guessing till the very end, and it's very well executed while also having that old 70's mystery novel feel. The film also has an excellent cast, including Ana de Armas, Chris Evans, Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, etc., who did an incredible job bringing the characters to life. It is an exceptional film overall, and I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the murder mystery genre.
