Review of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) by Dukejon — 01 Jan 2023

Nowhere near as good as the first film. A group of dumb friends who would never be friends in real life. Numerous plot holes (if he killed his ex why would he not bat an eyelid when she turned up at his island? Why would a napkin be such compelling evidence when they can easily be printed with any bar wordage on them?).

The flashback scenes take up half the film, killing the momentum. The ending is also very weak. The tech guy (who everyone guesses as the killer as soon as he appears) burns the napkin then the detective just strolls away and the woman just smashes the place up and suddenly the dumb friends all change their minds.

Lousy ending.
