Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

In the long awaited sequel of Knives Out, tech billionaire Miles Bron invites his friends for a getaway on his private Greek island. When someone turns up dead, Detective Benoit Blanc is put on the case.

The movie is very slow in the beginning as they were trying to make the audience understand everything about all the characters and the events in a supposedly comdeic way. They also included a little sub story that had to do with the pandemic and the lockdown that was a bit useless as they just got rid of the story with the click of a button, literally. When we reach the middle of the movie, it starts to get very interesting. We finally get the Knives Out vibe with the mystery getting harder and harder for the audience to figure out as no clues are given; its just a story being told. However, towards the end, when the mystery starts to unfold, it gets a little childish yet surprising at the same time.

I was very excited to know that Ed Norton was going to be in this film and indeed he didn't disappoint. He really did stand out. Daniel Craig as detective Blanc was also amazing as he kept that funny, smart, yet witty character from the first movie. All the other performances were good however the characters were very unlikable and some felt like a wasted potential. Additionally, the movie was very nice visually but the effects in the end felt a bit weird and weak.

If you watch this movie knowing that its not as good as the first one, you would definitely enjoy it.
