I think you should maybe watch the movie before weighing in on whether or not it was "cheating", because it's a bit more subtle than is implied. It sounds like you've already formed your opinion though, which is a shame because it's maybe better to go into a fun movie like this with an open mind and no expectations.
The only way I can see people getting angry at the film is if they go into it with a set of checkboxes they want to tick, or want to solve the crime along with (or ahead of!) the main character. But then at that point they're sort of setting themselves up to be angry.
- bambax 4y agoI was careful to speak in general terms. I am absolutely not expressing an opinion about that movie at all. I saw and enjoyed the first installment of Knives Out. I don't have a beef with the filmmaker, or the series, or the actors, or the genre. I'm just saying that detective fiction in general should follow a certain formula and if you stray too far away from it, most of the time, it doesn't turn into a wonderful new recipe but simply fails. In general. Is it the case for this film in particular? I have no idea!
