Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Knives Out is a parody of the mastermind Agatha Christie. The movie looks like a modern-day murder mystery and everyone is a suspect. The story begins at the 85th birthday party of renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey, played by Christopher Plummer.
The movie is now streaming, or you can purchase the Blu-ray or DVD, and watch it whenever and wherever you want.
After his party, he is found dead at his estate, and the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig, is enlisted to investigate his murder. But, it is unclear how he arrived at being the investigator, and that is a mystery in itself.
From Harlan’s dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan’s untimely death. By watching the trailer, you can see Craig’s character heavily contrasts with his 007 in the James Bond movies.
The stellar cast includes Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, and Jaeden Martell.
The movie appears to be a witty and stylish whodunit. Johnson hopes to keep audiences guessing until the very end.
Johnson is best known for directing Star Wars: The Last Jedi. His other writing and directing credits include Brick and Looper.
The second trailer offers a better idea of what the movie is about and how it flows for the audience. It flows much better because it seems to be intense and funny.
The movie looks hilarious with overwhelming craziness. Daniel Craig plays a character so unlike his James Bond.
I am not sure what is happening in this next clip. We have two cops and an inspector.
The next clip shows how snappy the movie flows.
Daniel Craig and Jamie Lee Curtis are in a scene together. It is phenomenal.
