REVIEW: ‘Knives Out’ delivers all the mystery and comedy it promised
Courtesy Lionsgate
Screenshot from the new movie “Knives Out,” a comedic mystery featuring Chris Evans.
It’s not very often that I’m extremely excited for a movie when I haven’t already enjoyed the book or when it’s not a sequel (or prequel or franchise). But I was super excited for “Knives Out.”
The movie trailer itself is a masterpiece, using “I’m Gonna Live Till I Die” by Frank Sinatra and building with each “live” in the song – amazing. I was hooked from the first time I watched it.
I was also excited to have asshole Chris Evans back — he’s been a goody-two-shoes Captain America for too long.
I made sure I read absolutely nothing about the movie beforehand; I love to guess the endings of movies. The only thing I saw about the movie was a tweet from Patton Oswalt that read:
“GO SEE @KnivesOut. And DO NOT read anything about it. Let yourself be taken by its surprises. Unless…you pay VERY close attention in the 1st hour. @rianjohnson “plays fair” and gives you the clues you need. (I missed ‘em, natch).”
I will not be spoiling the movie because I think everyone should experience mystery movies this raw.
This star-studded cast delivers on everything you could want. They give great comedic moments that will have you laughing out loud, and director Rian Johnson provides all the drama and suspense you could ever want in a comedic thriller.
The best part is, he really does give you all the tools you need to solve the mystery yourself. Oswalt was right — if you pay really close attention in the first hour, you can figure it out.
I’ve always been very bothered by mystery movies that make it impossible to know who did it or what the twist is.
Come ready for twists, turns, murders and knives. I highly recommend this movie.

HACK VANISH RECOVERED MY LOST 19.78 BITCOIN AND AIDED ME FIX MY CREDIT REPORT
In Dec, 2021, I invested the sum of 19.78 BTC with a fake blockchain impostor I met online, all the money I had saved up since 2014 got stolen just within a Month, my whole life almost crumbled, to crown it all my FICO score was so bad that I couldn’t even afford securing a loan to help my kids, but everything became better after I joined a forum online where I met people testifying about HACK VANISH, a hacker who has been helping thousands of people all over the world. I decided to reach out to him via the following contact shared on the platform Text/Call/WhatsApp: + 1 (747) 293-8514, Email: hackvanish@ gmail. Com, they responded and requested for all necessary information needed to aid my JOB, to my greatest surprise my bitcoin was recovered and my credit report fixed, FICO score was boosted to 783 across all 3-credit bureau’s, all negative items cleared just within 8 days. I can’t stop expressing my profound gratitude to this great team of hackers, I strongly recommend them to anyone in need.

mystery movies have always been what I love most about movies. I get so thrilled when characters are trying to solve a murder case or trying to get to the root of an issue and they keep going in circles, unwrapping mystery till the nut finally cracks. what thrills me most is that I try to guess what will happen till the end. the plot of Knives out was extraordinary ro me. please use this link to visit my site for interesting articles like this one and I will really appreciate it. thank you.
