Knives Out sharpens old murder-mystery tropes with a keenly assembled suspense outing that makes brilliant use of writer-director Rian Johnson's stellar ensemble.

"Knives Out," in the end, believes earnestly in the whodunit, it just wants to turn it inside out. To say more about that would spoil the fun. But keep an eye here, and elsewhere, on de Armas. Dec 3, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Knives Out deserves to be explored as a world of it own, as Johnson balances moral conscience and black humor expertly within the constraints of the murder-mystery genre. Dec 2, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

There's a great deal of lively and funny shenanigans with poisons and antidotes, and Johnson delivers a stab of cheerful cynicism. Nov 29, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

I suspect that Johnson, an adolescent genre enthusiast to his core, has waited since age 10 to make a movie like this. His enjoyment is contagious, even for those of us who don't think Knives Out quite hits its marks. Nov 27, 2019 | Full Review…

Knives Out is a whole lot of fun, intended to keep the audience off-balance right up until the finish. It's a razor-sharp throwback from writer-director Rian Johnson. Nov 27, 2019 | Full Review…

This is good fun, even though the puking bit stands as the dumbest plot gimmick in a movie this year. Dec 5, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A classic yet still thoroughly original whodunnit, Knives Out is a movie of the year contender and makes great use of its incredible cast while keeping you guessing from start to finish. Dec 4, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Johnson is at his best when he's playing in his own sandbox. His take on the whodunnit is delightful and the Craig-de Armas-Evans triumvirate pops off the screen at every turn. Dec 4, 2019 | Rating: A | Full Review…

Rian Johnson doesn't just laugh at the whodunit genre. He respects it and reveres it and it shows. [Full Review in Spanish] Dec 4, 2019 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…
