I scoffed at the first Knives Out.

It was poorly structured with dumb scripting and awkward reveals. Sadly this meant the wonderful cinematography and performances got overshadowed.

However, with the second outing - Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery - it seems Rian Johnson has learned from his mistakes, as we are given a much tighter script and story, with well paced reveals and switcheroos.

The writing was steadier, more consistent and far more engaging, this time around complementing the creative strengths of Rian Johnson's vision.

A very quirky outing indeed, with well paced, almost takes-the-p*ss-out-itself comedic timing, that knew when to set the comedy aside for those long reveals.

Unique in it's premise? Not at all. A fun take on an Agatha Christie style outing? Absolutely. I look forward to Mr. Blanc's next mystery!
