Iโm not a big mystery movie guy, but I heard this movie was good and decided to give it a watch. I didnโt watch knives out 1, but you donโt have to to get the movie. Now, I can say that itโs true about the clues being carefully placed in a great way, but the pacing is very off. It seems that whenever they give you a question to think about, they immediately answer it; leaving the audience having no sense of mystery. Not to mention that almost the whole second act is a flashback. Itโs still a fun watch, I certainly donโt know how it could be written better, but the pacing gets pretty annoying. My only major complaint is the ending: yikes. They tried to make it seems badass but also funny? Just didnโt work. Overall, a good popcorn flick to passively watch if you have 2 hours to kill.
