As a sequel to the 2019 hit Knives Out, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery challenges Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) once more. Awkwardly worded, the franchise misses out on titling itself after its ongoing detective instead of the ridiculously forgettable title. Taking place after Blanc is unexpectedly invited to a private island, the ensuing murder mystery is entertaining but features far too many twists and turns for its own good. With a runtime of almost 2 1/2 hours, Glass Onion suffers from pacing issues. Scenes that already drag out for too long are then retold from different perspectives, causing portions of the film to feel painstakingly slow. Rounding it out, the cast is divided from utterly charming or obnoxious cliches, with little in between. Though it has some fun moments, Glass Onion suffers by trying to stretch its story and characters, ending up as quite an average movie.
