I'm one of those who that movie pretty much soured me on seeing any others by the same director.
However, this recently popped up on Netflix and so I decided that, as enough time had passed, I would give it a shot.
What I saw was pretty much a standard whodunnit, not as funny or as clever as the reviews made it out to be, and with some twists and turns I saw coming but others which I didn't.
I will agree, however, that Ana de Armas is the standout in the entire film. (And the least said about Craig's atrocious accent the better)

It mainly manages this thanks to Johnson's mastery of tone - this is a sly, playful movie, full of big performances as comically grotesque characters. Daniel Craig is clearly having rather too much fun as the Poirot-proxy and I can imagine him wanting to play this fellow again once he's finished with that other well-known role of his. An impressive performance from Ana de Armas as well. Pure entertainment, superbly done: lots and lots of fun.

This is a great film everyone will enjoy and Bond fans will love. It has all the best Bond elements. Exotic locations, amazing Aston Martin cars including the classic DB5. Great action scenes, gadgets and awesome Bond girls. Special mention for Ana de Armas kicking butt while in a cocktail dress and heels.
The storyline is typically Bond as well, complete with an evil villian and cool hideout. It has a lot of elements to other Bond films whether by location, Car, songs that will ring bells for those who are big fans. A nice touch.
Probably Craig's best outing in the Bond role signing off in style. Catch it at the cinema!

This is a movie that has everything you could want from the genre, the mystery, the shifty money-grabbing family, the backstabbing and of course the intrigue of who committed the crime in the first place, yes there are those moments when you do start putting one and one together yourself, but with the subtle twists and turns in Knives Out it still keeps you guessing.
