The New Knives Out Is a Total Blast
SlateThe runaway success of Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, a movie just about everyone loved on its release in 2019, had everything to do with the way it reinvigorated a genre that was all but moribund: the Clue-style murder mystery. Gather a bunch of movie stars playing disparate social types in an enclosed, isolated place, knock off one of their number under mysterious circumstances, and call in a world-famous detective to ferret out the killer: What could be a simpler premise on which to hang a far-from-simple story involving class privilege, generational warfare, triple-fakeout plot twists, and instantly meme-able sweaters? Rather, it’s a new Benoit Blanc mystery, a conceptual throwback to the days of the Pink Panther or Sherlock Holmes, when a colorful crime-solver was the only constant between one standalone universe and another. As for Daniel Craig, after nearly a decade of contractually enforced glowering as James Bond, he seems to be having a positive hoedown of a time as the courtly but tenacious Blanc, savoring each line as if it were a sip of top-drawer bourbon, his autumnal Knives Out tweeds replaced by pastel-forward resort wear. Repurposing the phrase as a name for the high-tech pleasure dome of an empty-headed billionaire was a sly bit of satire on Rian Johnson’s part, but it works as a metaphor for his movie too.
