The follow up to "knives out" from 2019, also written and directed by rian johnson. Miles bron assembles his friends at his island paradise home for a murder mystery vacation. Famed detective benoit blanc also gets invited, by "someone". There's tension between them all. And the bodies start piling up! So many unknowns. A running gag where a protective screen slams shut every time there's any noise, to protect a priceless piece of art. And the clock that keeps scaring the crap out of everyone. About halfway through, we start getting answers, in many, many flashbacks. The first half is the build up, while the second half is the unfolding of the story. And the facts coming to light. Blanc is again played by daniel craig, with a whole new cast. Craig must have worked on that southern accent... it's not as preposterous as it was in the first knives out film. The adorable kate hudson acts and sounds more like her mom every day. This one is entertaining. And will probably be the last film to talk about facsimile machines. Lots of talk of disruptors. But he still uses a fax machine. This is one of the few films where seeing it a second time is actually more interesting. Because now you know things.
