Movie Review (English)
As a huge fan of Hercule Poirot, I was
pleasantly surprised to watch Knives Out. Even though the demeanor of the
investigator in the movie was very different from Poirot, the brain ticking
away trying to put the puzzle pieces together was a joy to watch.
The story was interesting as was the
atmosphere. The writer/director Rian Johnson has fitted in several elements
that one expects in a murder mystery so there was no slacking at all. With the
best actors in the business holding fort, there was scarcely any scope for the
story to falter. The funny thing was that the death of the patriarch was not the
mystery.
Seeing Daniel Craig in a very different
avatar from James Bond as Detective Benoit Blanc was a delight as he takes on
the case not knowing who enlisted him to investigate!
Hopefully, this is the beginning of many mysteries being solved by Detective Blanc.
