It's so much fun. It knows what type of movie it is and delivers. The story kept me on my toes. The ensemble cast is terrific. Chris Evans having a blast playing an asshole, Ana de Armas is great, and Daniel Craig playing a detective with a funny accent is a treat. I want to see this again knowing the plot so I can look for all the subtle foreshadowing.

After a rewatch I am even more impressed with how good the script is and how much is set up and paid off. This one is of the better movies of the year.

This movie outsmarted me at every turn!! I loved it. So fun.

The trailer is totally misleading. It has a montage of different scenes that if you put them together they are fun and clever but that is. The movie was nothing like that, not remotely funny, an meh mystery, total waist of the cast, the jokes were a bit dud. And the big twist totally underwhelming. Literally nothing to keep you at the edge of the seat.
I totally fine example of a "good promotion" of a over hyped and overated movie.

I'll be honest, after the rave reviews this film received, I was expecting more. It's still enjoyable and I had a good time watching it, but some of the cast was wasted, and its not the Agatha Christie beater that it was sometimes made out to be. Despite my gripes, it is well worth watching.

Very easy to figure out. Here’s a hint, any character not using an Apple device is the bad person.

Absolutely delightful. You don't have to be a Miss Maple or Hercule Poirot fan to enjoy this movie, but it will let you in on the inside jokes. This whole script is written and performed with its tongue firmly in its cheek. It is a wonderful parody with a great cast. It acrobatically delivers its twists within twists. Thoroughly entertaining. I give this film an 8.5 (delightful) out of 10. [Mystery Parody]

Very good twisty ensemble fun, and there are few underlying themes I admire in a film as much as [spoiler]kindness[/spoiler].

I love detective mysteries, seen and read so many of them. I must be spoiled by good ones because this one was not one of them. And on top of that, I hated most of the performances. Feels like they wanted to prop the meh story with good casting, but they failed, miserably. Most of the actors are maybe 5-10 minutes in total in the movie, just so they could put them on the cover. Really don't understand the good ratings this got.

Good but not great. As soon as Harlan's death happened in the first half hour, it was immediately obvious what the plot twist was going to be. [spoiler]He actually basically spells it out for us when he is bluntly discussing with Marta what would happen "if someone were to switch the vials."[/spoiler] That was fine by me as I was hoping there would be more layers of mystery that added on and proved me wrong but apparently this movie wasn't expecting too much of its audience's intelligence as [spoiler]the fact that the medicine had already been switched[/spoiler] was apparently the whole reveal. Even the identity of the murderer became immediately apparent [spoiler]once the character got some screen time[/spoiler].

I wouldn't exactly call it a "web of lies" so much as a bunch of small, inconsequential lies that didn't really have anything to do with the ending. The majority of the characters were just props and basically none were utilized for anything other than the initial interviews. Maybe I'm missing something but there are far cleverer movies than this one and overall this is just Daniel Craig talking in an annoying Southern drawl for two hours with little else happening.

I am not completely sure what to say. The acting was decent and the story was only half predictable, but in general it was rather mäh.
A bit too long and not as exciting as the high ratings would lead you to expect. Nice evening filler but that’s it. Daniel Craig‘s accent is horrible (not his performance but that his character had this annoying, out of place accent).

Well, this was no _Poirot_ (despite Daniel Craig's best efforts to accomplish a peculiar accent), but it was a nice spin on the old Clue board game formula.

Despite being an old fan of mystery movies and TV series (the aforementioned Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, Maigret, and so on), I watched this mostly because of the hype surrounding it. Much to my dismay, I found nothing here to support it. Don't show us right in the first third of the movie how the crime was committed if you don't plan on dazzling us with an outstanding twist by the end of it.
Still better than Kenneth Branagh's 2017 _Murder on the Orient Express_ ordeal, though.

All in all, _Knives Out_ delivers an entertaining — albeit plain and predictable — couple of hours.
