"Glass onion: A knives out mystery"
Watched English movie "Glass onion: A knives out mystery".
This movie is directed by Rian Johnson. Produced by Ram Bergman, Rian Johnson. Story: Rian Johnson. Cinematography: Steve Yedlin. Music: Nathan Johnson. The film stars Daniel Craig, Madeline Cline, Kate Hudson, Jessica Henwick, Edward Norton, Kathryn Hahn, Janelle Monáe. The movie runs for 2 hours 20 minutes and was released in 2022. I watched the movie on Netflix with Aditi and Mihika on 23rd Dec 2022.
A rich guy invites his friends to a remote island in Greece for an unwinding weekend with the theme of trying to find his murderer. There are two unexpected guests. His divorced wife who was cut off from his estate and a famous detective.
When the movie starts, you are not sure exactly where it is going. Being a murder mystery, first half an hour is not serious at all. But then there are two murders in a span of five minutes and a revelation. This makes the movie instantly interesting. It’s the job of the detective to find the murderer, motive and mode. Whodunit?
Glass onion is a glass dome constructed on the island and it has also significance in terms of peeling layers to reach the center.
Daniel Craig plays the detective and he does very well. He has shed the James Bond’s character completely and establishes himself as an actor. He plays the middle aged, non tech-savy detective to perfection. Janelle, Kate and Edward support ably.
Positives: Story, end.
Negatives: Pace
Recommend watching.
