Overview
- The Netflix-produced third Knives Out film begins a limited cinema run today, with streaming on Netflix set for December 12.
- Set during a Good Friday service in a village church, the story places novice priest Jud Duplenticy under suspicion as police chief Geraldine Scott turns to Benoit Blanc.
- Daniel Craig returns as Blanc alongside an ensemble that includes Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Jeremy Renner, Andrew Scott and Kerry Washington.
- Blanc enters the narrative later than in previous entries, reflecting the classic Agatha Christie pattern of introducing the detective after the first act.
- Early reviews highlight a darker tone, an emphasis on questions of belief and community power, and an old‑fashioned whodunit approach that favors low‑tech sleight of hand.
