My husband borrowed the movie ‘Knives Out’ from our local library for our date night movie. Why are people so careless with library movies? The poor DVD was scratched and skipped and then actually got stuck in our machine. No, it had nothing to do with our machine. So a plea to people everywhere…be careful with the borrowed DVD’s! Just because one does not pay for them does not mean they should abuse them. Ok, so now that I’ve got that off my chest, let us get on to the movie…

‘Knives Out’ is a mystery loaded with big name stars. Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, and Christopher Plummer, just to name a few. The story is set mainly in the mansion owned by Harlan Thrombey, a crime novelist. His family has just helped him celebrate his 85th birthday when his body is found by the maid. An apparent suicide. However, an anonymous person has hired detective Benoit Blanc to investigate Harlan’s death. Now that foal play is considered, everyone is a suspect in Harlan’s death. It seems as though there were several disagreements with Harlan and certain family members before his death. Was money an issue? What really happened to Harlan will be revealed before the movie ends. However, this outcome will lead to more twists and turns.

I enjoyed the movie very much. It had me guessing and not sure of how things would play out. I thought the ending was satisfying. I would recommend the movie ‘Knives Out’ to anyone wanting to see a good mystery.

As always, Happy Movie Watching!
