In Ryan Johnson's deliciously dark comedy-thriller 'Knives Out: A Knives Out Mystery', Daniel Craig returns as the witty and sophisticated private detective Benoit Blanc, now sporting a stylish new look.
The story takes place in upstate New York where the gruesome murder of Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, a reactionary cleric played by Josh Brolin, sets off a chain reaction of events. The victim's death is linked to his heartless views on various issues, and prime suspect is the soft-spoken yet passionate young priest Father Jud Duplenticy, played with remarkable charm by Josh O'Connor.
As Blanc delves deeper into the mystery, he encounters a cast of colorful characters, including Simone Vivane (Cailee Spaeny), Lee Ross (Andrew Scott), Vera Draven (Kerry Washington), and Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close). The ensemble is replete with humor, drama, and intrigue, making this film an absolute treat for the eyes.
Johnson masterfully weaves together a complex narrative, drawing from classic detective fiction and dropping subtle Easter eggs along the way. However, it's hard to resist the deadpan humor that pervades every scene, particularly in the hilarious scenes where Monsignor Wicks attempts to impart his confessions to Father Jud.
As the investigation unfolds, Blanc finds himself at odds with the patriarchal church establishment, leading to a series of unforgettable encounters that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Josh O'Connor delivers a standout performance as the conflicted young priest who becomes the central figure in this intricate web of deceit and betrayal.
With an all-star cast and Johnson's deft direction, 'Knives Out: A Knives Out Mystery' is an engaging whodunit that keeps you guessing until the very end. If Josh O'Connor is destined to be this decade's go-to leading man, it's no wonder why.

.
like 3 hours long now and we had to sit through an entire ad break to even get the first 2 minutes of that movie lol. And can we talk about the font on their website? It's so hard to read 
gotta make it easier for people who aren't on our screens all day
