MOVIE REVIEW: KNIVES OUT 2019

             KNIVES OUT 2019

  

 

        The movie reviewed this week is Knives Out. I've read a lot of reviews of this movie, but I'm not sure I get it. Undoubtedly, there were some amusing and humorous moments. The cast as a whole was excellent. I enjoy mysteries and have watched many different mystery films. The first half of this movie was quite slow for me. A 45-minute period became a two-hour one. The second half perked up, but there was no great mystery or enigma, nor was there the charm and vintage ambience of a Penthouse episode that I could watch repeatedly without getting tired of it. The lead actress was incredibly gorgeous, but watching her vomit was awful and utterly absurd, which I suppose was the humour. several of the characters appeared weather-beaten because they had spent too much time in the sun or smoked excessively. The last section was more enjoyable, and then there was a brief ending. Great grandmother bored me after first moments of her being silent in an odd hat.  

 

 

 

This movie started when Harlan Thrombey  a novelist who write crime genre found dead in his study room at night after his birthday party.He is found by his housekeeper ,Fran.The police wanted to clarify this case as suicide but the story becomes interesting when Benoit Blanc a detective who came to Harlan’s Thrombey mansion to investigate Harlan’s murder after he got an envelope of cash in his mail.But the question is who hired him?On the night of Harlan death ,he threatened to cut off his daughter-in-law Joni’s allowance because she stole the money,expose Richard his son-in-law who cheated on his daughter Linda,fired his son walt from his company and had a fought with his grandson Ramsom.Marta Cabrera was Harlan’s nurse who cannot lie without vomit.Without Blanc know,Marta mixed up Harlan medicine and makes her think that she overdosed him and cant find the antidote apparently makes Harlan only a minute to live.Harlan want to save Marta’s family because her mother doesn’t have document immigrant,he told Marta to create false alibi and slit his own troat.When Harlan’s will is read ,Marta is the only one who got Harlan’s inheritance.It makes all Harlan’s family mad.Marta doesn’t know anything about this will.She be the prime suspect of Harlan’s death.So did Marta kill Harlan, then?I won't disclose any further spoilers for this film, so if you're curious about how Harlan died, who killed him, or whether he actually committed suicide, watch the film on your own.Despite some viewers' opinions to the contrary, I thought this movie was entertaining.Given that it was a mystery-style film, this one had quite a few story twists.  It appeared to have explained at the beginning how Harland passed away, so why is the film still going on? However, the fact that the ''game'' is still in progress in this film sets it apart from earlier films.. I honestly have no idea what the detective will do next, but the film was fantastic.
