“Knives Out” was first released in theaters on November 27, 2019. It was in theaters for a

while pre COVID-19. Now that the world is in quarantine, it can be viewed on Amazon

Prime Video.

“Knives Out” is a thrilling murder mystery about the death of a super wealthy mystery

novelist, Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer). He was found dead on his 85th birthday,

and since his entire family was at his party that night, they are all suspects. They bring in a group

of detectives to ask the family about that night. Someone also anonymously brings in a private

investigator, detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig). The plot mainly follows Harlan Thrombey’s

nurse, Marta Cabrera (Ana de Armas), as she and Detective Benoit Blanc try to find the killer.

The problem is everyone is a suspect, including Marta, and she may just be the killer herself. As

the plot goes on, it soon becomes apparent that every single one of the Thrombeys had a motive

to kill Harlan. But it remains unclear who the actual killer was.

This movie had me at the edge of my seat the entire time. It is full of terrible people, and

family feuds. There is even an intense car chase at one point. It is full of complicated

backgrounds, and subtle side remarks that might become very important. Characters go back and

forth from seeming to be good guys, to being bad guys several times. The ending of this movie

was completely unexpected — it leaves you thinking of how all of the dots could’ve connected that

fast. It was definitely a great movie, and a good use of all of the time on our hands during this

extremely long quarantine.:
