Egan Gugu

On this new Blog post I will be reviewing a movie called "Knives Out". Knives Out is a 2019 American mystery film written and directed by Rian Johnson and produced by Johnson and Ram Bergman. It follows a master detective investigating the death of the patriarch of a wealthy, dysfunctional family. The film features an ensemble cast including Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, Lakeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, Jaeden Martell, and Christopher Plummer. Knives Out follows the story of a detective who investigates the death of a family patriarch during a gathering. Harlan Thrombey, a popular mystery novelist, calls his entire family to his Massachusetts mansion to celebrate his 85th birthday. However, the next morning, Harlan is found dead with his throat slit. While the police rule the death as a suicide, someone hires private eye Benoit Blanc to conduct his own investigation. Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) quickly discovers that Harlan Thrombey had a strained relationship with the rest of his family. The detective then starts to piece together all the clues and eventually finds out the truth about Harlan's death. Later, Harlan's housekeeper Fran is also murdered, which adds to the mystery of Knives Out. Read below to find out who was the real killer in Knives Out.

It is eventually revealed at the end that Harlan Thrombey's grandson, Hugh Ransom Drysdale (Chris Evans), was the one who really wanted to kill him. Ransom switched Harlan's usual injection with a lethal dose of morphine. He plans to implicate Harlan's nurse and close friend, Marta(Ana De Armas) for Harlan's murder, as she is the one who will be getting all of Harlan's inheritance. However, Ransom's plan fails because Detective Blanc found out that Ransom was the one that killed Harlan . But Ransom hires Blanc anyways to try and blackmail Marta. To conclude, i would give this movie a solid 9 out of 10 and i would also say that it's is one of the best movies of 2019 and of the 21st century.
