My absolute favorite thing about all these reviews is that they all state in some way ," compared to Knives Out it's not good." This movie isn't trying to be Knives Out, it's a different story. A self contained story and I absolutely loved it. It brings us more depth to who Blanc is and what he stands for. The allure that I think drew people in the first time was that he's some mystery detective who just showed up. This time we know who he is and how he ticks. The cast all have fun with their parts and play them well. The script is written well and keeps you guessing and second guessing until the end of the film. It may exist in the same universe as the first Knives Out but it is far from a sequel or a pale comparison to the other, it is it's own film. Even without seeing the first movie you could jump into this one and not skip a beat. It's a fun whodunnit with a wonderfully fun cast, setting, and script. I am extremely excited to see what else is in store for Blanc.
