Aaron Fisher’s review published on Letterboxd:
Knives Out is directed and written by Rian Johnson (Star Wars: The Last Jedi). Knives Out is a original murder mystery film which surprised me how great it was. The cast holy shit it has great actors. Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc was bloody fantastic his over the top acting and southern accent topped it off. Anna De Armas as Marta was fantastic and definitely the stand out performer in this movie. I thought everyone put in great performances throughout the movie. The script is great. It’s a very well written and witty script. The score for the movie was so good. The cinematography was beautiful to look at. Some jokes landed well but some don’t land. I thought the first 40 minutes were slow and dull then after I thoroughly enjoyed with plenty of stuff happening. I wish it was tense in some scenes. There’s twist and turns which you won’t expect. Overall great murder mystery movie which I recommend.
