A Knives Out Mystery
In this gothic tale with inspiration from Edgar Allen Poe, Daniel Craig’s master detective Benoit Blanc is joined by Josh O’Connor as his second in command Jud, a boxer-turned-priest being handed a new position underneath a controversial small-town priest Monseigneur Wicks (Josh Brolin).
His flock is faithful despite his cruel ways and Jud finds himself to be the rare outlier who can’t find anything worth praising. So, when Wicks is killed in a baffling manner, Jud is the main suspect and he has to work with Benoit to find out the truth behind a murder that seems unsolvable.
As has become expected in the ‘Knives Out’ series of films, the cast is top-notch: Kerry Washington, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Andrew Scott, Daryl McCormack and Jeremy Renner. Everyone seems to be having a blast, and director Johnson has crafted a vibrant, funny and visually stunning film.
