Inspired by Agatha Christie’s detective novels, the whodunnit genre got a modern makeover in 2019 thanks to Rian Johnson, whose own head-scratching style of filmmaking (Brick, Looper) meshed perfectly with Christie’s labyrinthine plots.
Thrilling and unpredictable, Knives Out is elevated by an outstanding cast that includes Christopher Plummer as patriarch Harlan Thrombey, Ana De Armas as Marta, his Latina nurse, Halloween’s Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, and former 007 Daniel Craig as private detective Benoit Blanc.
When Harlan Thrombey is found dead the day after his 85th birthday, suspicions and insults fly, and an anonymous source hires detective Blanc to investigate. Despite appearing to be a suicide, Blanc’s interrogations reveal a strained family dynamic full of resentments, with every member of the household having sufficient motive for wanting the 85-year-old author six feet under.
