I personally very much enjoyed this film. The beginning was a bit dull, but by 50 minutes it starts to get really exciting! And the middle for me is nonstop twists and turns, which makes the beggining more worth the slow start. But unfortunately at the end it suffered as the first movie, and I was able to predict the murderer. I wasn't fully sure, but I was getting the feeling. Then the detective describes everything we don't know, and there are some interesting surprises. Until of course the third act happened and they had a full action scene which was very unnecessary and ruined the murder mystery vibe. It felt like the writer just had to finish the script as soon as he could.

The murder mystery overall felt more complex than the first. Loved it! But how the story played out with the characters and their ark didn't do it for me. Knives out had a stronger story ark for the characters. Netflix might of rushed the writing process and maybe wanted something specific for the sequel, which didn't end up working.

Overall this movie is worth watching with family if you like murder mysteries, but lower your expectations for the finale act.
