KNIVES OUT: With an all-star cast, this deliciously wicked thriller is great fun and a roller coaster of twists and turns. I refuse to give any of this intricate plot away, so you'll have to solve it as you go along. We start out with a dead body. Foul play? Suicide? And who hired the detective to investigate and why? Even the detective doesn't know! The superb cast is headed by Daniel Craig as the detective with the suspects seeming to be most of the family of the deceased. On board for the mayhem is Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Pine, and Toni Collette among others with Christopher Plummer as the deceased. ( But as the story unfolds he is very much alive in a series of flashbacks.) And it all takes place in a spooky estate worthy of Agatha Christie. I might add, they even manage to get in a car chase. And some laughs, as well. (My favorite....Daniel Craig waiting in a car singing "Or am I losing my mind" from "Follies") If this genre is for you (as why wouldn't it be?) treat yourself and see it pronto.
