Glass Onion: A Knives Out Thriller is the second movie starring Daniel Craig as grasp sleuth Benoit Blanc. This time, Blanc winds up on a Greek island in the midst of the Covid pandemic, the place he’s the one outsider amongst a bunch of longtime pals — the remainder of the forged contains Edward Norton, Janelle Monae, Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, and Kathryn Hahn.

It’s additionally a really humorous comedian thriller; undoubtedly funnier (and perhaps higher total) than Knives Out. From ScreenCrush’s evaluation of the movie:
The key of a terrific homicide thriller is a combination of complexity and solvability. The case must be dense sufficient that it may’t be discovered earlier than the answer is revealed — however as soon as the answer is revealed, it must really feel like the reply was staring the viewers within the face the whole time. So the thought of a glass onion — with its densely packed however clear layers — works completely as a metaphor not only for this explicit Benoit Blanc detective story however for just about each entry within the whodunit style. And although Glass Onion is author/director Rian Johnson’s second whodunit (or third, for those who depend his debut movie, Brick), this seems like his definitive work on this type, throwing the whole lot he’s realized to date, and the whole lot he desires to say, into a particularly satisfying and surprisingly well timed thriller.
