After the success of his 2019 whodunit "Knives Out," writer/director Rian Johnson has now created another tricky mystery for his detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) and arguably, this one is better than the last.
Set during the pandemic, the story begins with Senator Claire Debella (Kathryn Hahn), model turned sweatpants tycoon Birdie Jay (Kate Hudson), influencer Duke Cody (Dave Bautista) and scientist Lionel Toussaint (Leslie Odom Jr.) all receiving a package from their billionaire friend, Miles Bron (Edward Norton). It's a puzzle box that involves playing games just to open it — Duke's mom (the fabulous Jackie Hoffman) gets a few laughs for her unwanted contribution — and it contains an invitation. Miles wants his friends, known as the "disruptors," to join him on a Greek Island for a murder mystery weekend.
