GlassOnionAKnivesOutMystery Review by TheJonathanSim: Knives Out 2 Is Hilariously Sharp
Agatha Christie’s influence on the cinematic whodunnit genre continues to this day. This year has seen films like, a mystery where she was one of the characters in the film. However, it’s time for Netflix and writer/director Rian Johnson to give us. This film brings back Daniel Craig as the eccentric Southern detective Benoit Blanc with a new murder, a new mystery, and a brand new ragtag group of people.is a total blast.
We have a politician running for Senate, an insensitive supermodel-turned-fashion designer, a Twitch streamer/men’s rights activist, and so many more. All of these characters, including Blanc, have been invited to an exclusive weekend getaway murder mystery party hosted by billionaire Miles Bron . This film, set on a sunny remote island, offers a delightfully unique setting that allows the movie to set itself apart from the cozy Thanksgiving sweater-bound nature of the first one.
Although the first movie gives us the murder in its opening scene, the murder in this film does not occur until halfway through. This may be the movie’s weakest point because while the first hour is entertaining, you’re almost waiting for the movie to start as you get introduced one by one to these characters and the backstory.
The result is a film that never stops entertaining you. It’s hilariously sharp, clever to the end, and will have you pulling back the layers of this onion as you watch it. While not every cast member gets the chance to shine, the ones that do really do, particularly Norton in his excellent comedic performance and Janelle Monáe in a role that she pulls off perfectly. While the actual mystery may not be as strong as the original, the humor more than makes up for it.
