**A novel written specifically for a dramatic work** The story of the movie is simply that we have a person murdered and a group of people suspected of being involved in killing this person because they all have an interest or benefit that this person should die. The movie is simply ask who killing old Harlan Thrombey. Often these types of films and these types of stories that contain puzzles and crimes are based on old books such as Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, or any other novel, but this story from the movie was written specifically in order to be made in a dramatic form because the story was written for the cinema and the way the story was implemented was far-fetched. Completely different from traditional methods. This is the strong aspect of the film due to its reliance on the theatrical system. It makes you contemplate the music, the method of filming, and the placement of the characters one after the other, as if you are watching a theatrical performance. The most beautiful thing about this theatrical show is the way the characters are presented. Each character sees it for the first time when they are called for investigation by the police and who they are and what is their relationship to the victim. But what is beautiful is when the next character is identified and we know who she/he is and what her/his relationship is to the victim them We start to doubt the stories and information given by the previous character to the investigators With more than one character and with more than one investigation, the contradictions will become clear. This will bring us to the question that comes to our minds after 40 minutes of the movie: Who killed Harlan Thrombey?

So, this is a bad remake of Clue... but... "The bad scores are because of Star Wars fans" And, honestly I am sure that some of them are... but once more we see people attacking anyone that doesn't give a Rain Johnson 10 out of 10. "The bad scores are conservative trolls" And once again we see people, and Johnson, attacking anyone that doesn't like this film. Once again people are throwing a fit because other people don't like the exact same thing they do. But to be honest, again, I can see that. This is overtly political, and by "overtly" I mean that they are screaming through a megaphone, at just about every opportunity, to inject their politics into it. Other than that, it is kind of like Clue... if Clue was very careful not to insult some people in their jokes, and very focused in an attempt to insult others with a sheer and unadulterated prejudice. And that kind of makes for a very awkward film where the jokes are so self-aware they can't help but fail. So, basically that is what you are getting, Clue with jokes aimed at the politically correct and a hearty injection of politics. And that is all you are getting. But, hey, if you haven't seen Clue, you might like it. And, if you share the politics and think they should be shrieked in everything, you will totally like it. The rest of us are just going to watch Clue.

An incredibly well-crafted and beautifully shot whodunit with an impressive cast. ‘Knives Out’ keeps the viewer on the wrong track thanks to the ingenious script, bringing a surprising delight towards its conclusion, but without losing rewatch value. 10/10
