What kind of watch this is
Knives Out is a 2019 comedy-mystery that treats the classic whodunit as a trap to be sprung. Rian Johnson starts with the familiar setup but then pulls the rug out twice. First, the suspect looks guilty, turning the detective into the threat. Then, the suspect is proven innocent, leaving the audience to wonder why she ran. It is 131 minutes of layered lies and sharp turns. The structure does the heavy lifting, making the truth feel earned rather than announced.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes holds a 97% Tomatometer score as of January 2026. The site’s average for rated reviews sits at 8.3/10, a figure from October 2021. Metacritic lands on 82/100, a Metascore reported in January 2026. The consensus leans on the script’s serpentine structure and the ensemble’s chemistry. Stephanie Zacharek of Time finds the characters’ squabbling the most entertaining part. Manohla Dargis of The New York Times, however, takes issue with the handling of its political ideas.
How it did with audiences
Knives Out spent $40 million to make and pulled in $196 million worldwide. On TMDB, users rate it 7.8 out of 10. That’s a solid score for a whodunit, and proof that mystery fans still show up for a good puzzle.
What came next for the cast
Daniel Craig traded spy thrillers for whodunits, while Chris Evans swapped capes for capes with different slogans. Ana de Armas moved from noir-adjacent roles to action franchises, and Jamie Lee Curtis kept returning to the same haunted house. The credits list what they did next. They cannot say Knives Out caused it.
