Generic introductions, not bad at all, just generic and simple. Several storylines and was surprised they were connected pretty early on, along with the characters; I loved that it built up genuine suspense with the narration instead of just dragging the story or keeping details hidden. It got a lot of laughs in the theatre so a great watch with friends. It's just as much a comedy as it is a whodunnit. Still as fun as the first knives out, if not more.

A little disappointed Bautista went back to playing a tough meat head for humor; I think it's always a miscast but this is one of the better ones, just annoying to see him unutilised instead of roles like See. Ethan hawk cameo was great, not to take anything away from the rest of the movie but it was my favorite bit. The rest of the cast was still decently star studded. Pacing changes and lost some thrill in the second act but builds it back up. Also had a few things are conviniently connected for plots sake but not entirely sensible.

The story's still the best part of course. I loved the twists and turns, every time something was revealed, there was more still coming and at some point there's a bombardment of them. It's pretty entertaining movie, both fun and funny and definitely a worthy sequel to the first.
