KNIVES OUT (2019) was recognized in the year of its release with an AFI AWARD in 2019, naming it among the most outstanding motion pictures of year. According to the official rationale, “KNIVES OUT simply slays – a modern ‘whodunit’ pulsing with Hitchcockian thrills in this stylish staging of murder most foul. Reflecting the strata of society in a mirror crack’d, Rian Johnson’s dialogue and direction are so sharp that the film’s incisive cultural commentary cuts deep without leaving a mark. Daniel Craig plays equal parts suspicious and silly, gleefully abetted by a murderer’s row of top talent, each clearly relishing their roles in this deliciously deadly game of cat-and-mouse.”
