10 Best Police & Detective Movies Since 2010, Ranked

Quote:

1. Knives Out Reinvigorated the Whodonit Genre with a Clever Twist

The second time Daniel Craig teamed up with a young assistant to investigate Christopher Plummer's family came in Rian Johnson's modern update to the whodunit genre, Knives Out. Here, Craig plays eccentric private investigator Benoit Blanc, hired to investigate the apparent suicide of Plummer's Harlan Thrombey in a seeming closed-door mystery.

Knives Out brilliantly subverts the mechanics of the whodunit genre, revealing the answer to its mystery at the end of the first act. This turns the middle part of the film into a Hitchcockian wrong-man thriller while also achieving the traditional whodunit ending. The movie is wonderfully contemporary, depicting the divides along a modern family as well as satirizing the rich/poor divide. It's a film that's endlessly entertaining, with all the cast giving it their all while also delivering a fun mystery with a strong emotional core.
