KNIVES OUT (2019) | The Most FUN Murder Mystery in Years (High)

This is how you do a modern murder mystery.

This week on Movie HighLow, we break down Knives Out—the insanely fun, layered whodunit from Rian Johnson that surprised us way more than we expected.

🕵️‍♂️ A dead mystery novelist

🏡 A house full of suspects

🎭 And a detective with a very questionable accent

 

At first, it feels like a classic whodunit… …but then the movie flips the formula on its head.

 

We get into:

Why this might be the most fun murder mystery in years

How the movie gives the audience more information than the characters (and why that works)

Daniel Craig’s surprisingly hilarious performance

Why Ana de Armas becomes the emotional core of the story

And how this script rewards you even more on a rewatch

 

🎬 Plus:

The “live-action Clue” vibes

That insane ensemble cast (seriously, everyone shows up)

The twist… and the twist behind the twist
