A lot of shine and gloss on the outside not much on the inside. Movie seems more interested in colorful fashion conscious settings with beautiful people surrounded by chic props and costly furniture set pieces right out of the Ad pages of a thick year end Vogue edition. The only thing missing seems to be Faberge eggs from the Czar's court or the Queen's jewels from London.

Knives out was a hit because of the solid atmosphere of a locked room English country house mystery, Benoit Blanc was a fresh take on an overdone trope, Ana de Armas character was a really funny centerpiece character and the script was really tight.

While here the atmosphere is more gaudy, glossy and over the top and nothing more, an hour or so in it's pretty obvious who's the choice for murderer and the so called twist or red herring is not much really, and the script just meanders around with a lot of puffy dialogue, Daniel Craig looks more bored and wanting out than in it.

Finally the director and script just give up and everything just goes to hell, so not much here really.

So all sound and hype which is overdone, but not much else.
