“Knives Out” (*1/2 out of four) was a limp psychodrama/comedy about a determined detective (Daniel Craig) investigating the death of a millionaire businessman (Christopher Plummer) and finds that virtually everyone in his family (Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, and others) are suspects. First-rate cast tries to inject this with as much style as possible but it’s a fizzle from start to finish and liberally rips off some of the plot (and plot twists) of “Clue”. A Southern accent simply does not work for Craig.
