Time to solve a mystery. Read the review of rianjohnson's KnivesOut:
. All that makesa more playful and far more contemporary renewal of the genre than Kenneth Branagh's pageant-like 2017Game of Thrones
The key figure, of course, is the story's Hercule Poirot counterpart, a courtly gumshoe with a Tennessee drawl and a florid turn of phrase named Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig with infectious enjoyment. While the cops are ready to call Harlan's death an open-and-shut suicide case, Blanc suspects foul play, and as he methodically gathers evidence, everyone becomes a suspect.
While the movie opens with Harlan's housekeeper finding him dead, recaps of the previous evening's birthday celebration from multiple viewpoints allow the ever-formidable Plummer to show what a teasing old rogue the author was. His taste for elaborate games is reflected all over the intricate details of Crank's marvelous set, where most of the action unfolds.
Johnson's screenplay in many ways is the star here, with its well-oiled plot mechanics and guileful twists and turns, constantly pulling the rug out from under the audience as much as the characters. Blanc calls the mystery "a case with a hole in the middle. A donut." And as the complications pile up, he revises that description to a donut hole within a donut hole.
