Knives Out (鋒迴路轉) is an 2019 film. The movie stars Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, Lakeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, Jaeden Martell, and Christopher Plummer. Since this movie was really an ensemble cast, top billing is hard to promote. I picked this up from redbox right before the pandemic hit Los Angeles in March of 2020. It is currently my last Redbox rental via my T-Mobile Tuesday deals.
The movie is the investigation of a death in a wealthy family. Because of the wealth, the family members are all very interested in how it will be divided. When an unexpected person gets it, but family springs into action to get the will changed. A famous investigator is brought in to solve the mystery.
In looking back on this movie and watching it again in parts on Amazon Prime a few months ago, the movie was not as interesting the second time around. How could it be if you know how the mystery is solved? On the first watch, I was trying to follow along, but gave up. Like most mystery movies, they leave out key details that they only show you when the investigators is telling everyone how they solved the mystery. I was not too disappointed by this and converted myself to just enjoying how the mystery unfolds. As things went on, you saw all the different family members do their thing. In the end, it was quite enjoyable on first watch. If you like mysteries, this one is a dandy.
I did not notice any prominent Asian faces in this movie.
