Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

The mystery of Miles’ death and intelligence made Detective Blanc think more deeply. Because one death is exposed, it is also related to other deaths. There are also internal problems with the friendship of Miles Bron and friends.

The case is a bit forced

After Blanc’s ability to unravel the mystery from Miles in just a few seconds, the characters’ vacation becomes a mystery in itself. But there is a new murder that has just happened that makes Detective Blanc think more.

Review Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

The new murder case looks very forced. For fans of the murder mystery genre, you know immediately who and what the motive is. As if forced, the unraveling of the case is fixed on Miles and Andi’s figures until the end of the fight.

The Disruptor becomes a plot milestone

Duke’s murder motive in the middle of the battle, gave it a slight shock to make it sound like a real case. When the initial mystery we continue to question becomes raw with Blanc’s keen ability, it makes the movie seem boring.

But gradually, the role of the “Disruptor” group became increasingly clear, why the murder happened. Although the background and roles of each character are not very balanced, the excellent role selection makes ‘Glass Union’ still attractive with a small number of roles.

It seems that without Detective Blanc’s abilities, all Disruptor’s motives and crimes

Supporting roles such as assistant Peg (Jessica Henwick) and artist Derol (Noah Segan) who also live on the island don’t derail the story. But even their presence can be seen as strange and futile.

Lost on a dark island

Set on a Greek island, a luxurious mansion leads us to a mysterious murder case. Detective Blanc’s task seems easier with a narrower context, which is to collect evidence. With a little help, Blanc’s abilities here seem fictitious, and don’t really stand out despite having a bit of a role to play at the end of the destruction.

The ending may not please many parties. Moreover, the missing evidence becomes a new mystery to prove later. Even in the end, each character’s role isn’t really related to Duke and Andi’s deaths. Everything about Alpha company has no clear direction. Claire’s role in government and scientist Lionel becomes crude without a more scientific perspective.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery movie conclusion

The case where Duke’s death was forced, doesn’t make the case go smoothly with a few predictable twists. By narrowing down the character compared to the first film, the case is focused and invites the audience to uncover the mystery of the murder.

Set on an island and a strange house, it is easier for us to examine the motives of the suspects. The help Detective Blanc received seems to overshadow the expertise we’ve been waiting for.
