Knives Out (2019)
6/10
Not a bad film, but doesn't warrant the IMDB rating
2 January 2020
A somewhat-watchable mystery/comedy. Frankly it was an effort to finish this. I had mostly lost interest with 20 minutes left to go, and my patience wasn't rewarded.

First of all, the plot is completely implausible. It forces a suspension of disbelief. This is a dark film, which takes a particularly dim view of the wealthy, and perhaps even with white-colored Americans. There's a nasty racist joke at the very beginning about Italians.

I guess my biggest disappointment was the ending. It wasn't much of a reveal.

Decent performance from Daniel Craig in something other than a James Bond movie. The lead actress is cute but I'm not totally sure if she had quite enough presence for the role.

Good rainy-day movie.
