    If given the choice I would rarely, if ever, choose a ‘whodunnit’.’Knives Out’ made me regret this. When a film’s actors are having genuine fun from playing a party this easily feeds into the audience’s response. Daniel Craig embodies this particularly playing the mysteriously employed detective. His deep southern accent and general characterisation rings true to Old Hollywood. Reminding me somewhat of Clyde in ‘Bonnie and Clyde’.
    In terms of narrative I was hooked. It moved so naturally; twisting and turning delightfully! It was one of those kick yourself endings too! Truly a lot of fun :)
