Will the Knives Out movies ever bring on a truly surprising ending? Like other reviewers here, I was expecting something akin to an Agatha Christie mystery. After all, the beginning of the movie has strong shades of Death on the Nile, Murder on the Orient Express and Ten Little Indians. No such luck, no major twists or surprises. The movie quickly becomes entangled in its own overly complicated machinations which completely kills any sense of danger or suspense because you're so busy trying to follow the intricacies of the plot that you get lost in them, ultimately losing interest in the characters' fate. Daniel Craig's ridiculously overwrought Southern accent is sometimes so hard to break through that you spend precious seconds trying to decipher what he just said instead of being able to follow the narrative. What is it with British actors going for molasses-in-January Southern accents? Is it a cover-your-bad-American-accents strategy? Anyway, after enduring two hours of this back-and-forth elephant which obviously cost a fortune to produce despite the super tacky CGI-pumped production design (Ken Adam, we miss you), the "great" reveal in the end is so predictable that you end up scratching your head in disbelief. That's it? You end up saying to yourseld. To compensate for the weak denoument, the director unleashes a big fireworks finale the likes of which you haven't seen since Moonraker. I won't be waiting for the third installment of Knives Out with my fists clenched.
