Knives Out sharpens old murder-mystery tropes with a keenly assembled suspense outing that makes brilliant use of writer-director Rian Johnson's stellar ensemble.

"Knives Out," in the end, believes earnestly in the whodunit, it just wants to turn it inside out. To say more about that would spoil the fun. But keep an eye here, and elsewhere, on de Armas. Dec 3, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Knives Out deserves to be explored as a world of it own, as Johnson balances moral conscience and black humor expertly within the constraints of the murder-mystery genre. Dec 2, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

There's a great deal of lively and funny shenanigans with poisons and antidotes, and Johnson delivers a stab of cheerful cynicism. Nov 29, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

I suspect that Johnson, an adolescent genre enthusiast to his core, has waited since age 10 to make a movie like this. His enjoyment is contagious, even for those of us who don't think Knives Out quite hits its marks. Nov 27, 2019 | Full Review…

Knives Out is a whole lot of fun, intended to keep the audience off-balance right up until the finish. It's a razor-sharp throwback from writer-director Rian Johnson. Nov 27, 2019 | Full Review…

This was a really good time. I was invested. It got a little slow every now and then... But then I was snap back into the flow. Dec 9, 2019 | Full Review…

Rian Johnson's formalist homage-deconstruction of Agatha Christie whodunits has a tone unlike anything I've seen lately: wry, zesty, and relentless. Dec 9, 2019 | Full Review…

Knives Outis never, ever dull and offers the kind of classy entertainment we could use more of on the big screen. And I have a feeling we'll see more of Daniel Craig's colorful character down the road. Dec 9, 2019 | Full Review…
