Knives Out

THE GIST: The sudden death of a very successful mystery writer looks to be ruled a suicide, until the family finds out he left all his considerable fortune and possessions to his immigrant nurse. That's when the proverbial knives come out, to make sure she doesn't get what they think is rightfully theirs.

Oh what a delight Knives Out turned out to be! It's a well written and executed mystery-thriller that harks back to the works of Agatha Christie, one of my favorite writers.

The cast includes the delightful Christopher Plummer, Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, a lovely Jamie Lee Curtis, and the gorgeous Chris Evans.

THE BOTTOM LINE: If you like crime movies with a flair for the dramatic, this is the perfect title for you. A must see!

Grade: 8.5
