Rating: 9.5/10 Matty Score
Knives Out, which is written and directed by Rian Johnson, might be the magnum opus of the mystery movie genre. Rian does this with stunning visuals, music, and sound effects. They all combine to create an amazing atmosphere like no other, that very few movies can compete with. The plot is perfect with fluidity that keeps you with the story and a storyline keeps you trying to think who it could be, as well as changing what you think a mystery plot can be.
Rian gives those perfect hints, that it takes 2+ times watching the movie for you to catch on to, but that would let you know the whole plot if you knew them. Then the whole movie comes to a close, with one of those amazing detective rants where they go through all the clues and name the murderer. This movie is a true masterpiece that I would suspect would revitalize the career of Rian Johnson and possibly create sequels with the characters. There is already a second one planned, but does it deserve a second film, only time will tell...
