Tech mogul Miles Bron (Edward Norton) invites his cohorts Birdie Jay (Kate Hudson), Duke Cody (Dave Bautista), Andi Brand (Janelle Monáe), Claire Debella (Kathryn Hahn), and Lionel Toussaint (Leslie Odom Jr.) to an island vacation for his murder mystery. Peg (Jessica Henwick) is Birdie's assistant. Whiskey (Madelyn Cline) is Duke's girlfriend. Famed investigator Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) claims to have an invitation although Miles disputes it.

Rian Johnson brings a wackier follow-up to his Knives Out. Daniel Craig is back. The rest of the cast is new. I appreciate the style. For the first half, I did not like anybody in this movie. I downright hated a few of them. They are all the stereotypes of people who annoy me in this modern world. It's still interesting. I'm just not invested in any of them surviving. The middle takes a turn and the mystery begins. I grow more and more invested. The ending takes a more circuitous route. I kept thinking that he has the gun. I waited for it and waited for it. The gun seems to be the easier and more simplistic final weapon. For true revenge, she needs to kill him. I'm not completely satisfied although the whole movie has plenty of interesting fun.
