Film Pick: Knives Out

Director Rian Johnson’s treat for making The Last Jedi is, of all things, a big-budget version of Miss Marple with the dark comedy cranked up and James Bond in place of the spinster sleuth. Daniel Craig heads up an all-star cast (listing them would take up our whole word count) as a drawling detective who’s confined a wealthy family to their rickety old home as he tries to work out who bumped off their patriarch. Everybody gets their moment – Chris Evans, in particular, sparkles as a ne’er-do-well who seems to have wandered in from Succession — and as the twists and bodies pile up, you’re left with a deviously enjoyable Swiss watch of a movie. An absolute riot. See it at Cineworld at Resorts World. Tickets & trailer
