Knives out is a somewhat tedious, somewhat hammy whodunit.

Despite the director's imfamy for mediocrity, and the telltale sign of disapointment that is a star-studded cast I still decided to see the film. Got what I deserved - a slightly achey backside and that awful feeling of having been ripped off.

Too many of the cast appear miscast. Daniel Craig especially. The accent he was using did not work and breaks immersion every time it is audible.

4 and a half stars.
