I thought Knives Out was ok even if I could not understand all the praise for it. It was really not that special or good and not very exciting.

This one is just bad. The killer is the most obvious suspect. The motivations are evident. There is no story, no mystery, no tension (maybe 5 mn in the middle). But the movie thinks it is so clever by telling us that at the moment of revelation.

Which is what sums up Rian Johnson - he thinks he is way clever than he is. And people like that because it probably makes themselves feel clever than they are because they "get it". But there is nothing to get but preachy politics (which I would have excused if the movie was good).

At least, there is no doubt that the actors were having a great time.
