Last night I watched the first Knives Out movie, finally, with the Mere. It was so good.

I do have to admit I don’t like Daniel Craig using an accent other than his posh British accent, it was shocking when I first heard his weird southern draw. But other than that the movie was superb.

Ana de Armas was a great lead and I loved how no character could remember what part of South America she was from. 😁🤣 Such a silly, subtle gag.

It was a perfect “Clue” movie and wasn’t to suspenseful. Just all around fun.

I’m looking forward to watching the next two.

Apparently there’s also a Netflix party game for the series. That should be fun to do when we have friends over. I wonder if it’s considered Cannon?

**Overall Rating:** 4.8/5 (only due to Daniel Craig’s horrible accent)
