Knives Out is a mystery movie with a cast of cooky characters. Famous mystery novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) commits suicide after the family Christmas party. A week later the police are back because it may not have been a suicide and this time they have famed private investigator Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) on the case, hired by an unknown client.

As he questions and talks to the various family members we get different view points of what happened that night and I like that it was easy for me to tell when there were inconsistencies between two stories which Blanc circles back on to get to the truth. Blanc recruits Thrombey's nurse/assistant Marta Cabrera (Ana de Armas) to help him because she has a hard time lying and throws up when she lies.

But it turns out Ana has a good idea of what really happened (from her view point, she also did not know many things) and to her mind she accidentally killed Thrombey. So Ana's plot line is helping out while covering her tracks and being very careful about what she's telling Blanc.

And of course there is another party out there, possibly the real killer, who wants Blanc to find out what Ana did and pin the murder on her...

I like the characters. I like that this is a bit more comedic than suspense/thriller. I like the mystery and clues are understandable to viewers. I like the plot twists. Overall it's a pretty darn good movie.
