I was underwhelmed by it. Maybe I had built it up too much. I thought the movie dragged during long stretches. I was promised a whodunnit that too quickly became a, "will they get caught?"

I remember saying to my wife last fall when we saw the trailer for this - you have a movie with Captain America, General Zod, James Bond, and Helen Tasker (my wife would get that one more than Laurie Strode, as she loves True Lies) - what's not to like about that cast? It's release came out during a far too busy time for us (we had a Disney trip at the time, coupled with the holidays, and we just never got around to seeing it).
So I rented it last night. This was a very good movie. As an aside, I still think RJ was a horrible choice for The Last Jedi, but this one along with a couple of his pre-SW movies makes it clear he is a competent filmmaker. We laughed a lot at this. It was alot of fun, a who-dun-it that actually was pretty easy to figure out a bit too early in the movie but whatever. And yeah, sign me up for the sequel with 007 doing that accent. What accent was he emulating there? Was it what Evans said, Kentucky? I was thinking all along it was most certainly a southern accent, perhaps Georgia or Mississippi, but then, I don't get out that much or have many friends from those states so what do I really know?

About to watch. Will report back how much better than Once Upon a Time in Hollywood it will be.
Late to the party, but really enjoyed this movie, even though some aspects were fairly predictable. Good cast and pace.
In related news: Affleck's "dating" de Armas... Only a 16-year difference. I'm sure it'll last.

Not that impressed.
Watched this with the wife last week. We joked about how he needed to sound more like he's from Savannah.
We kept saying "there's been a murdah!"

I enjoyed this film, I do declare!
I guess I'm in the minority here, or maybe I had too high of expectations bc I give a C+/B- i watched it all the way through, but came away very underwhelmed.
I assume she means "100 mg Ketorolac". Nobody just casually gives a dose that high, especially on a daily basis. The volume difference between 100 mg ketorolac (3.3-6.6 ml) and 100 mg morphine (20 ml) is way too big. The line could have been 20 mg or 30 mg and worked perfectly.Big Cat `93 said:
Really fun movie. I'm glad that excellent cast wasn't wasted.
BTW, my girlfriend is an RN, and she had a critique about a certain plot point mentioned above, as well, but it didn't take away her enjoyment of the movie.
Yup.
We watched it again recently and enjoyed it just as much. I noticed a few things I missed the first time. For example, the figurine of a kid getting spanked on Harlan's desk.

Our family way he's it last night and thought it was really fun. Enjoyed it.

Okay I liked it, but was so damned distracted by Daniel Craig's HORRIBLE southern accent. How hard would it have been to just let him be British.....
I didn't mind his cartoonish accent much because the whole thing was very cartoonist and surreal to me, so it just worked. Everyone in the mocie but lakeith stanfields character (the black detective) and one of earths hottest women, Ana de Armas was over the top.
I thought the movie was fun as hell and worth the $7 or whatever I spent on Amazon

much like Matt Damon's nose in Ocean's 13, Craig's voice played.gomerschlep said:

Finally watched it last night with my wife and our son. All 3 of us really enjoyed it.
Definitely looking forward to the sequel.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

It was Daniel Craig doing Kevin Spacey playing Frank Underwood. Over the top, yes, but it worked for the movie.
On Prime for free, just thought I'd share.
. Good flick.

Watched it tonight for the first time. Good not great. Fell a little flat to me but maybe I had too high of expectations going in. I think I may be in the same boat as other posters in that I became a lot less interested as the movie wore on. Hard to pin down exactly why but there were probably a few things that contributed.
That being said, Ana de Armas is something else.
I became a lot less interested as soon as we knew exactly who dunnit early on. Also, most of the great characters amounted to window dressing in the end.
The movie is a whole lot better if you consider that Marta is the real killer all along. She was the better Go player.
She manipulated the old man into leaving her his fortune, and then out played everyone in the family and the cop.

Dave Bautista's resume:
Marvel hero
James Bond bad guy
Blade Runner 2049
Dune franchise
now Knives Out franchise
is this guy the luckiest guy in Hollywood with all these roles in big tentpole franchises?
Good for him.

I mean Samuel l Jackson still exists so Bautista is probably not the luckiest.

Edward Norton looks like a light bulb.
She has many more memorable scenes in Knock Knock... which may be the worst movie ever madeFlashdiaz said:Chipotlemonger said:
