Aussie boy's thoughts
This whodunit comedy touches almost everything with an exceptionally witty tone. Knives Out isn’t your typical murder mystery with overused ideas and gripping dialogue; it executes an immensely intriguing concept of spectacular storytelling and an unforgettably fun blast with the all-star cast.
Every performance in this movie doesn’t consequently provide an overly mature or seriously-themed personality, but instead chooses being sparkly and frequently amusing. Therefore, every character and every actor in this movie is completely memorable. Ana de Armas seems to be the realistically serious lead, but there’s a loveable similarity shared between Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Michael Shannon and Don Johnson: quirkiness.
The puzzle pieces are also to die for. There are so many details and riddles that satisfyingly make complete sense at the end, and with the lack of a mature outlook, young teens and up will be able to easily work the mystery through their heads. The fashion of the location and the wittiness of the dialogue also create that memory of an exceedingly entertaining mystery you’ll effortlessly remember as Knives Out.
