Having enjoying Knives Out as a masterpiece of the whodunit genre, I was eagerly expecting the sequel. Well, it's here, but it looks like a whole different (worse) class of movie, despite the required murder. Both movies have a great cast and fine cinematography, but unfortunately there are also obvious differences. First of all, Benoit's character is so different! He used to be polite and self-restrained. Here he seems like a flamboyant douche. Besides, there's so much visual display, lights, smoke and mirrors but so little substance... All the production effort is not even nearly enough to balance a stupid plot with plenty of holes. Also, it's way too long. Sadly, only the Knives Out title was left. If they plan to go on with the franchise, they must do much, much better than this overacted, childish show.
