Movie #2150 ........................."The Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" (netflix)

 Movie #2150 "The Glass Onion" (netflix) I was one of the few, I think, that didn't care for "Knives Out" all that much, but this sequel of that one,  I felt was more stylish, and the actors were better.  And, most importantly, Craig didn't try to steal the movie with his annoying accent.  The opening is one of the best I've seen in a long time, and it sure tells the viewer if you don't like this puzzle idea, turn this off now because the rest is one turn after another.  I do admit, this gets a bit long and talkie, but many mysteries tend to do that as long as it has you wondering until the end "who is behind the whole thing"?  I do enjoy a good mystery so this is worth the time to watch for me, and it has some great special effects!  However, I didn't feel pulled in by any of the characters --- they all kept their distance.  They are competent, but don't demand attention to me.  I'd give this a 4 out of 5.
