The No. 1 mystery movie you need to watch after 'Knives Out'

L-R: Brendan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), "Tug" (Noah Fleiss) in a scene from "Brick".

It's no surprise that Rian Johnson's newest mystery, "Wake Up Dead Man," has been Netflix's No. 1 watch since it premiered on the streaming service last Friday. This third "Knives Out" movie is my favorite of the franchise yet, and a riotously fun, twisting mystery movie deserving of its reception.

Seeing as "Wake Up Dead Man" has endured as a popular Netflix watch, I'm guessing there are viewers out there with an appetite for more mysteries. If that's you, I'd urge you to check out Rian Johnson's debut feature, "Brick." While it's not part of the "Knives Out" lineage, this high school-set film noir homage stands as proof that Rian Johnson has had a firm grasp on the mystery/detective genre from the beginning.
