Movie #1833 ........................."Knives Out"

Movie 1833 "Knives Out" --- This is a well-acted murder mystery that was full of surprises and a pretty involved plot.  Several people to get straight from the get go, but this was really no problem because the characters each had their memorable quirks ---- except for Daniel Craig.  He has a terrific opening and closing, but the in between, he just kind of blends in to the furniture and could use a bit more quirkiness (like a Columbo type characters, or sherlock , etc.)  The young girl is a very strong characters (nominated for golden globe) and  easily identifiable.  And I couldn't guess this one --- I had a guess but it was way off, so I urge you to watch very closely and guess along and see how you do.  The film kept my interest throughout and I recommend it to you --- and don't talk about it much once you see it so others can enjoy it, as well.  4 stars out of 5.
