summed up the reputation data from all parties: 007 Craig and the US team Evans starred in the new film "Knife Out of the Sheath" is a high reputation movie that must be watched every year.
Lionsgate gave the film’s director tube to Ryan Johnson, who had also had heavyweight masterpieces before, such as "Star Wars: The Last Jedi", "The Ring Messenger" and "Breaking Bad" The third and fifth seasons, etc. At the same time, Lionsgate gave him a mid-to-low budget cost of 40 million US dollars, and Ryan Johnson did not disappoint. He took full control of the film rhythm, presented a good show to the audience, and made Lionsgate a big profit. One stroke.
Ryan Johnson invited two heavyweight casts to join the starring, sixth-generation "007" actor Daniel Craig and Marvel superhero movie "Captain America" actor Chris Evans , in addition, Cuban beauty Anna de Armas, also has a very important role. In addition, also has Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Colette, Michael Shannon, Catherine Langford and other co-stars. From the perspective of the final film, in addition to renting the venue, the final budget may be spent on the actor's salary. The film actually has no money-burning stuff, and there is no special effects part. It is a film that relies on the plot to win. Excellent movie. The
movie "The Blade Unsheathed" tells the story of the suspenseful novelist Howard Sloby cut his throat in his bedroom in the early morning of the second day of his 85th birthday, and then triggered the inheritance of hundreds of millions of inheritance.
"007" Daniel Craig was entrusted by an unknown person to investigate the case of Howard's suicide by cutting his throat. When he and his family members discussed the case one by one, he found that they all had the motive of killing the old man, but he was unable to find evidence. .
No one thought that the old man Haran eventually gave all the inheritance rights to their family’s caregiver, a foreign immigrant, Marta played by the Cuban beauty Anna de Armas, and then all the spearheads All pointed to Marta.
At the same time, the grandson played by Chris Evans, the actor of "Captain America", is also secretly investigating the case... I can only stop it, and I can’t go into details. It involves major spoiler information. Friends who have watched but have not yet watched the movie, please go to the theater.
"007" actor Daniel Craig may still have the shadow of 007 in the film, but "Captain America" Chris Evans is the acting and appearance of the film. In "The Blade Is Out", You can't feel it at all for contributing a subversive performance. He is the upright Captain America before, and he performed really well!
To be honest, this type of suspense film is really my favorite. From "The Invisible Guest" to "The Mirage", this kind of film that does not reveal the mystery before the end will make me big after watching the movie. I was so addicted, and my brain was open. "Knife Out" has tribute to Agatha and anti-Agatha. Facing death, she is still in prison. She has no hesitation in choosing the most kind side of human nature. Especially rare films have added a lot of laughter and tension. In the atmosphere, there is still a little bit of naughty, and finally the "doughnut" case is perfectly displayed, reflecting the hypocritical "parasite" of the Lumbius family like a "clown".
