Description

Find out why we chose the brilliantly crafted movie, "Knives Out", for our first review!

Whodunit films have been around almost as long as the novels which inspired them. Classic novels by Agatha Christie and the likes have stirred the thrilling plot lines that have kept us guessing all the way to the big reveal.

Rian Johnson capitalizes on the iconic tropes of these murder mystery stories in Knives Out, while finding a way to bring a fresh perspective in the form of irony and intelligent mockery.
