When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is found dead at his estate just after his 85th birthday, the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is mysteriously enlisted to investigate. From Harlan's disfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving. Knives Out is a charming and wonderfully crafted whodunnit that, despite the inevitable presence of a dead body, plays like a warm and cozy antidote to the winter chills. Read full review 91. Knives Out is just a really well told movie. For 2 hr., 10 min., this is finely paced and edited. Johnson really knows how to steer the story, especially the beginning and introduction to the facts of the case. Download c&e driver. Besides being a mystery, this movie is also a critique of privilege, which I felt Johnson managed to not beat the audience over the head with. 1.0 out of 5 stars Absolute garbage from a pompous, self-indulgent little man child. Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2019 This movie fails everywhere it tried.
