Knives Out
When I first started to watch this I made the assumption that I wouldn’t enjoy it as much as others as there were a LOT of characters introduced that I needed to memorise, which usually, I’m not great at, but with the way Knives Out was structured and how the story progressed, I got a really good feel for all the characters, which actually made it a very enjoyable film.
Also, I love movies with good twists and unexpected plot points, and Knives Out was amazing in that element. As soon as you think that the final ‘big twist’ to solve the mystery has been revealed, there has been another discovery that just kept piling onto the already enjoyable plot, making it so much more interesting to watch.
Though I would have liked to see Jaeden Martell’s character add more to the story, considering he was the youngest in the family and the least suspected, although he was just reduced to some nazi kid who was masturbating in the toilet when everything went down and was therefore barely useful. But then again, the story still did flow almost perfectly and excitingly even without the extra additions, so I guess I’ll let it slide.
Overall, great movie. Kept me on edge and wanting to watch more, and when I think I’m fulfilled, even more keeps happening in a way that doesn’t make it seem too drawn-out or boring.
