Synopsis:
Harlan Thromby is a top-selling author of mystery books. His family gathers at his home to celebrate his birthday, but the next day, Harlan is found dead with his throat cut. Police detectives and the famous P.I. Beniot Blanc. It soon comes out that Harlan was planning to cut off his financial support to every member of the family, and it's up Blanc and the police to determine if Harlan's death was a suicide or if there was foul play. And if there was foul play, then whodunit?
Thoughts:
Though mysteries don't tend to be among my favorite movie genres, this movie is an absolute hoot! There's no way to guess what's going to happen next, or who's going to do what in this whodunit. And, Daniel Craig's character weaves the story together magnificently.
There are twists and turns galore, the all-star cast is completely spot-on all the way through, and the stories within stories within stories really keeps things moving.
I love it! And, IMO, it's the best movie of the Knives Out franchise so far.
