I took one for the team, /tv/. I watched Knives Out yesterday so you guys could shit on it without seeing it. It's worse than you ever imagined.
>murder victim is a rich old whodunit author (like whoah it's so meta)
>actually, the whole movie is full of stupid little meta details: imagery of knives everywhere, the questioning room has a big wheel of knives in it so it looks like the suspects are surrounded by knives, references to Clue, etc etc
>main character is his spic nurse (they make sure you know that her mother is an illegal)
>suspects are his family
>detective is Daniel Craig, putting on a horiffically fake southern US accent
>first 30 minutes or so are setting up some potential suspects, detective questioning some family members who had conflicts with the victim
>son who was getting fired, daughter in law who was losing her allowance, bad boy grandson who was constantly fighting with the old man
>finally detective gets to intetviewing the spic nurse
>turns out she has a condition where she LITERALLY FUCKING THROWS UP IF SHE LIES
>detective uses her to effortlessly confirm a few suspicions he has
>this is the only point at which her condition presents any real discomfort for her; for the rest of the movie she'll be able to suppress the vomit long enough to convincingly lie
>now we get to where Rian Johnson subverts your expectations
>about 30 minutes into the movie
>the whole fucking mystery is revealed
>via A FUCKING FLASHBACK
>turns out the spic nurse liked to do morphine with the old man
>so she accidentally gave him a lethal overdose of morphine
>and he killed himself with a knife to cover for her
>all of the exposition was completely meaningless
>mystery over, the spic nurse killed the old man with incompetence
>too bad there's over an hour left of this shitfest
>cut to another flashback where the family is arguing over DRUMPF and inadverdantly making the spic nurse feel bad about her illegal mother
>by the way, dup and duptardery are recurring themes in this movie
>the victim has a dupzoomer grandson, whose sole purpose is to be shat on by his family for being a NAZI and to be the butt of a masturbation joke
>the words "alt-right troll" are actually spoken to describe him
>the bad boy grandson lets you know he's the bad guy by calling his cousin an SJW
>etc etc
>anyway, the dup flashback doesn't fit anywhere into the narrative, it's just there because dup btfo
>now the movie is about the spic nurse trying to avoid the consequences of her gross incompetence
>time for the victim's will to be read
>the bad boy grandson shows up in person now, Chris Evans trying his hardest to be as unconvincing as possible
>whole family just starts shitting on him, so he starts acting all smug and telling them to eat shit
>also, this is where he calls his cousin an SJW, which causes the dupzoomer to smirk
>the dupzoomer is bullied into revealing that he overheard the bad boy and the old man arguing over the will, though this pretty much only happens so they can make fun of the dupzoomer for masturbating in the bathroom
>finally the will is read
>turns out the old man left absolutely everything to just one person
>gee, it wouldn't happen to be the spic nurse, would it?
>it's the spic nurse
>entire family starts screaming at her, dupzoomer calls her an anchor baby
>bad boy suddenly wants to start helping her
>for some unexplained reason the spic nurse implicitly trusts the bad boy and confesses the whole story to him
