I expected some semblance of the original film's story telling, mystery and suspenseful writing. Despite a cast of excellent actors, the story was uneven, contrived and bored me throughout. I actually checked the time left at several points and was each time disappointed that so much time remained until I finally learned the outcome. Knives Out was truly a wonderful film. This was not and if left on its own with no tie to its parent would not have a following.

Edward Norton was excellent with what he had. Leslie Odom Jr ditto. Jessica Hahn perhaps with the script had to overact. Janelle Monae excellent too. Daniel Craig did well given the shortcomings of the story. Apologies to fans-I wanted to like this.
