KNIVES OUT simply slays - a modern "whodunit" pulsing with Hitchcockian thrills in this stylish staging of murder most foul. Reflecting the strata of society in a mirror crack'd, Rian Johnson's dialogue and direction are so sharp that the film's incisive cultural commentary cuts deep without leaving a mark. Daniel Craig plays equal parts suspicious and silly, gleefully abetted by a murderer's row of top talent, each clearly relishing their roles in this deliciously deadly game of cat-and-mouse.
