Definitely a downgrade from first film, the second Knives Out is a convoluted commercial and product placement extravaganza to the point that it may not be an actual film. It may rather be seen as a two hours and a half advertisement of celebrity actors, high paying brands, exacerbated color, the Greek islands and a plot that manages to give you a headache. So quickly moves the director of this story that one feels he underestimates his audience by fearing to bore them if he applies actual film craft to his actors and plot. The antics of Benoit Le Blanc played by Daniel Craig of course saves this production from been actually almost unwatchable. We hope that with a third Knives Out the franchise will return to actual film making that is as enjoyable and funny as the first.
