Knives Out 2019

Pretty good, Daniel Craig probably enjoyed himself immensely making it. I kinda wish it had gotten more recognition from the academy, because while it is a genre picture, it’s also subversive and genre bending with plenty of substance to be found. The final shot kinda says it all if you ask me, love this movie’s take on the idea of entitlement. The acting is fantastic across the board, with Ana de Armas, Daniel Craig, Chris Evans and Toni Collette being the clear standouts. The filmmaking is also excellent, great cinematography with plenty of good camera movement and blocking. The mysteries are very well executed, the clues are subtle and clever. Some great quotables as well. I have some problems with the tonal balancing, however. It can occasionally get a little too dark for its own good, especially for a movie that has Daniel Craig doing a really hammy accent.

7.5/10
