Knives Out


When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is found dead at his estate just after his 85th birthday, the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is mysteriously enlisted to investigate. From Harlan's disfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan's untimely death.
It references 'Murder She Wrote' and that's essentially what it is. While an episode of that is 48 minutes though, this is stretched over 2 hours making it far too flabby to recommend.
Not clever, funny, witty or interesting enough. Look for something better.
