From the very first minutes Knives Out presents itself as a clear cut detective murder mystery, with well rounded humor. Initially everything seems almost a little too cliché, until the second act begins and we're introduced to the true plot of the film. I won't spoil it for you, though I must admit I didn't see that one coming, and I'm rarely caught off guard.
When the twist arrives the entire narrative actually does a 180° turn, and I found myself genuinely invested, and interested to find out where the story was headed. Knives Out seemingly effortlessly turns almost all of its genre based weaknesses into strengths, in a spectacularly enthralling cinematic fashion.
The entire viewing experience is just so refreshingly rewarding, and from the marvelous performances to the entire visual presentation. With the stellar set design, editing, camera, writing, and Rian Johnson's great direction, there is hardly anything left to be desired.
I can't recommend this one enough. Knives Out is a delightfully enjoyable experience.
