Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is back in director Rian Johnson‘s new film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Plot details for the movie have been carefully guarded, but it seems safe to say that everyone’s favorite southern-drawl-sporting detective will be chasing down a fresh set of clues. A quick look at the cast list suggests an entirely new set of characters eagerly awaiting their chance to deceive the gentleman sleuth, including Ethan Hawke, Kathryn Hahn, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Dave Bautista, and Kate Hudson.

2022 PG-13 Det. Benoit blanc is back and peels back the layers of this sequel mystery surrounding a tech billionaire and his friends in Greece. Definitely set during 2020 lockdown A politician, some ‘starlet’ the tech billionaire, Duke, bertie(?) and more have all received boxes from Miles. Turns out their delivery is a puzzle box. How do all these people know each other aside from this one person. Ok I like her style! One of the possible guests decides to go about the puzzle using their brawn not brain. (I feel the same way as my cousin gave me a novel you have to solve 10 puzzles in solve the puzzle you get a code which you decode to find the next page you go to. Well sadly just as their first puzzle is a visual puzzle, I’m stuck on a visual. I believe they called it a stereogram in the movie, but the books of them were called “Magic Eye” I am stuck on that sort of puzzle in my book. Sadly even when I didn’t need glasses I was only able to see one once.)
Pool party for the “Disrupters” and Craig gave me a chuckle when he was walking in the pool with his drink. Batista in a speedo (Thank gods I watch wrestling and was ready for that haha)
Hudson’s character ‘Birdie’ is so annoying. Purposeful or not….really bad acting. I mean even bad for if it was supposed to be bad acting. “People think Birdie is disruptive every time she opens her mouth” I do like her rainbow dress though.
Her assistant or whatever she is, begs Miles not to release something cause if it does it will destroy Birdie, and therefore her as well
Whiskey is Miles too young for him girlfriend (or something)
Lionel a Scientist is the first to start figuring out the puzzle. I’ll have to try his trick. Ah he’s a chemist which turns out he made a new (efficient? power) source. What looks something like a crystal, which is what is powering the Glass Onion and is not happy with Miles as he wants to have it public by the end of the year.
Andi played by Janelle Monáe tells them all what they really have in common
Claire a bland politician, soccer mom Who laughs at a particular Painting ‘Front and Center’.
The Painting has to me a seeming wonky system as every time someone’s phone makes a notification ding, it opens, again then closes.
Time to have some cocktails before they kick off the murder mystery. AND THERE’s THE RENNERS Hot Sauce.
Blanc is already solving the murder at meal time, and Miles Braun hasn’t ‘died’ yet… then part of it happens. Still having a laugh at that,
He tells Miles its NOT a game, that everyone really does want to kill him and more or less why.
How were these people all friends ? Now they all gang up on Andi, but I don’t think I’ve heard an actual reason they’re mad at her.
The murder game didn’t go as planned, however someone does go down, it just not the targeted person. Someone in the shadows has Duke’s gun, and shoots at Andi through a glass pane.
Turns out one of our ‘Disrupters’ has a twin, which truly becomes a disrupter! . She brought the box to Blanc.
Turns out one of our ‘Disrupters’ has a twin, which truly becomes a disrupter! . She brought the box to Blanc. The Disrupters all would hang out at the bar The Glass Onion (not sure but they owned it together or just Miles did) Someone came up with a diagram for something, and Miles posted one of his own. (They don’t look identical, however Andi’s is missing)
There’s also a Bottle of the Renners Hot Sauce in Blanc’s pocket at one point in the movie.
Not as interesting or intriguing as Knives out. I’d say I saw killer coming, it may be be a ‘knives out movie’ but its no Knives out… for me this was predictable
Just as the first time watching it, I lost interest about half way through. I hope this was a sophomore slump, and the 3rd movie will be more interesting.
