Resume Nothing could blemish the otherwise lavish birthday party at the palatial estate of the acclaimed crime/mystery novelist, Harlan Thrombey, except for his strange and unaccountable death. Now, the sharp knife in the silver-haired deceased's hand is a dead giveaway that something, or someone, had been bothering Harlan; nevertheless, the cryptic detective, Benoit Blanc, is not entirely sure. Indeed, there is more than one member of the successful author's clingy family who has been economical with the truth so far--and as Blanc struggles to shed light on a tangled mess of half-baked leads and little white lies--all eyes are on the grand prize: Harlan's magnificent legacy. Can Benoit get to the bottom of this perplexing case before someone else dies, too?

We fell asleep the first three times attempting to watch this film. On high recommendation from respected theater friends, we finally suffered past the first sleepy 45 minutes and spent the remainder of the movie flummoxed at what kind of viewer could ever swallow the premise of this murder and the holes in the plot too numerous and too much of a spoiler to mention. Set in modern time, the viewer must somehow forget the way any modern murder investigation is conducted through evidence forensics, DNA, personnel, and crime labs. Plot hole is stacked atop plot hole and preposterous coincidence that makes for an impossible suspension of disbelief. Apart from the inane writing for only the most gullible, not a single character had anything resembling likeability. We didn't really care about a single character, regardless of the star studded cast. I found myself waiting for some spectacular and grabbing dialogue or interaction, but only found disappointment, similar to a Fourth of July fireworks volley of duds that go straight to the ground without an Ooo! or an Aaah! By the time the predictable plot twisting and lengthy, rambling and unbelievable whodunit monologue of the lead "investigator" a private detective somehow given sole authority! arrived, we could have cared less about the plot, the characters, the victim, the family, the bumbling investigators, the good natured nurse, or even the overly pretentious artsy scenery or filming. The most interesting person in this charade was the mute Great Grandmother! Clearly this was 2 hours we should have continued napping through.

Conclusion: This should have been set as a period piece in the "Downton Abbey" times in order to make this 19th century investigating style believable. Or maybe written as a murder-mystery parody. This just didn't work.

Ignore any noise being spouted from jaded 'Star Wars' fanboys. Rian Johnson is among the finest filmmakers currently working in Hollywood.

Consider his resume: he wrote and directed 'Brick; he wrote and directed 'The Brothers Bloom; he wrote and directed 'Looper; he directed the Breaking Bad episodes 'Fly. Fifty-One, and 'Ozymandias; and most recently he wrote and directed easily the best murder-mystery of the year, Knives Out.'

The plot is dense and brilliantly serpentine- just as one should expect from a quintessential film of the genre- taking on the characteristics of an ouroboros.

Each of the characters in the film are familiar, flawed, and driven by their own delightfully selfish motivations.

But it's the writing-oh the wonderful writing! that makes this picture as powerful and poetic as it is. From the plot to the dialogue to the very last gasps of the denouement, Johnson keeps the audience completely rapt and on the edge of their seats wishing the saga could somehow continue ad infinitum.
