Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Intrepid detective Benoit Blanc finds himself at a lavish private estate on a Greek island, but how and why he comes to be there is only the first of many puzzles. Blanc soon meets a distinctly disparate group of friends gathering at the invitation of billionaire Miles Bron for their yearly reunion. As in all the best murder mysteries, each person harbors their own secrets, lies and motivations. And when someone turns up dead, everyone is a suspect.

Glass Funyuns, Yo
There was a lot of waffle and noise about this on release in the distant past of 2022 and I'm glad I waited to watch it because all that's left when the dust settles is... fun. This is fun. It's genuinely a hoot to watch a big budget high concept contemporary whodunnit that's always striding a step or two ahead of you. However it would be churlish to deny a certain clunkiness around the edges and that large swathes of this will date massively in the decades to come. Strangely enough for a musically-named film it was the irksomely "quirky" incidental music that I found to be the largest detractor for me. Still, I had a honk, but I'm glad I didn't wait longer. - samanthakellywalker - 10 March 2024
People were expecting a continuing to the first story
This story is a stand alone using the same detective. Like the classic Columbo, not putting it on the same level, but the concept. The story was compelling, fun, and only a little predictable. Edward Norton was fun to watch, and I was so excited about it until I really didn't see some of the errors Daniel Craig pointed out. Janelle, played that roll very well. It felt like two different people. It was some real gems in this movie. Enjoy it.
The movie being broken into two sections, was also fun. There was obnoxious moments of course, like when Dave Batista was in the forever pool with his"gun". But fun non the less.
