Seriously, if you're not a big fan of mysteries, skip this decidedly mediocre film. If you are a big fan, see it -- you will enjoy the flick. It was hard to stay awake for the first 2/3 of the movie as it meandered along. Aside from the lead actress being adorable and Daniel Craig miraculously maintaining his southern accent throughout the film, there was little to draw a viewer's attention. The final third got interesting and at times compelling even to a non-fan of mysteries. But I'd have rather seen an important and thoroughly mesmerizing compelling film like "Dark Waters" a second time to seeing "Knives Out" even once.

That is, unless you are a big fan of the who dun it genre. My wife, who is such a fan, really enjoyed this frequent mess of a movie. I suppose if the film had come with a scorecard and the players names on the backs of their "uniforms," it may have been possible for laypeople (i.e. not big "who dun it" fans) to make sense of what was happening.
