‘Glass Onion’ sharpens the ‘Knives Out’ formula in a polished Netflix sequel

“Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” maintains the razor-sharp formula. Writer-director Rian Johnson again assembles a solid cast behind Daniel Craig. Netflix opportunistically stepped up to acquire the “Knives Out” franchise and will give the movie a wide one-week-only release before it hits the streaming service in late December. “Glass Onion” finds new layers to explore, in a way that makes the prospect of a new “KnIVES Out Mystery’s every few years sound like a perfectly reasonable idea, wherever and however one chooses to consume it.. It’s rated PG-13. It premieres November 23 in US theaters and December 23 on Netflix. The movie obviously lacks the sense of discovery that greeted the original – and even turned Chris Evans’ sweater into a must-have item (Chris Evans not included). It’s frankly just the kind of deal that threatens to take a fun little movie and screw it up by creating unreasonable expectations. The game, however, takes an unexpected turn, starting with the invitation to Craig’s master detective Benoit Blanc, who remains brilliant and odd in near-equal measure. The film is about a billionaire who invites his old posse of pals to a murder-mystery getaway (during Covid, no less) on his secluded Greek isle, where they’ll be tasked with solving his “murder” It’s about a fashion designer/social-media loose cannon (Kate Hudson) and her partner (Jessica Henwick), a fitness influencer (Dave Bautista) and his girlfriend/sidekick (Madelyn Cline), a scientist (Leslie Odom Jr.) and a politician (Kathryn Hahn), and most intriguingly, Miles’ estranged former business partner (Janelle Monáe) It’s also about a man who has been murdered by his ex-wife. It is about the death of his son, who is now in the care of the police.
