I have to admit wanting more formal narrative wizardry from Knives Out in the way of third-act twist, counter-twist and counter-counter-twist. The plot is certainly really complicated, but I wanted the finger of suspicion to move more teasingly from suspect to suspect. I expected the rug to be pulled out from under me, replaced, pulled out again, challenging everything I had seen with my own eyes. That doesn’t quite happen. But there’s a great deal of lively and funny shenanigans with poisons and antidotes, and Johnson delivers a stab of cheerful cynicism.

The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little drama, and yet its inhabitants are troubled: Sergeant P.J. Collins hasn’t always been this overweight; Brid Riordan, a mother of two, hasn’t always been an alcoholic; and elegant Evelyn Ross hasn’t always felt that her life was a total waste.

And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?” 6. Death Overdue by Mary Lou Kirwin Arsenic and Adobo is a new culinary cozy series that combines sharp humor, delectable dishes, and a touch of murder mystery, making it the perfect read for fans of Knives Out. The first movie starts us off with the death of crime novelist Harlan Thrombey. A week later, news has spread and upon the arrival of most of his family members, we meet our detective and main character, Benoit Blanc who was hired to solve the mystery of Harlan Thrombey. He now has to untangle the web of lies created by the deeply disturbed and dysfunctional wealthy family of the deceased. The second movie is set on a Greek island where a wealthy tech billionaire invites his friends out for a getaway. Of course, it wouldn’t be a murder mystery if someone didn’t turn up dead, and yet again, we meet our detective Benoit Blanc who is set to solve the case. As is with the first movie, the scenes all look very grand and glorious, wealthy and pompous.For the self-indulgent Ransom, Rian envisioned Chris Evans after seeing him in the Broadway revival of Kenneth Lonergan's Lobby Hero, having been impressed with his performance as a contemptible villain. [11] [38] Evans was known mainly for his live-action role as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and Rian exploited the actor's everyman persona to ignite tension between moviegoers and Ransom, saying, "You've got to see it not as baggage, but as ammunition. If there was someone in that part who the audience inherently wanted to like, that would help the arc overall." [38] Although Evans was preparing to embark on a hiatus after finishing his duties for Avengers: Endgame (2019), he reconsidered when the producers relayed they would film near his home in Massachusetts.

The violence tends to happen off-screen, however, and none of the grim tropes of Scandi noir, such as abandoned wells and dank cellars, seem to feature. Christie, though, did like a little dash of the sordid: greed, lust and sexual jealousy were all within her literary compass.

The US director and writer of the Knives Out films, Rian Johnson, described Glass Onion optimistically as “an equal, not a sequel” at its London premiere, but this second film is no sedate drawing-room puzzle. Johnson claims that both screenplays were inspired by Christie’s work, but the new outing is clearly the direct result of the commercial success of the first.
