One of the most mysterious movies before 2019 ends is the Knives Out. It is a movie about a wealthy man who loves to write mysterious books. Sadly, he's found dead in his own office. At first, you may think that it is a suicide, but once you watched the movie, you will learn that it is more to the story. It is not a suicide but a mysterious murder that can only be solved by one person. 

This movie is very timely because most of the books and TV shows at the present talk about crime death as a major topic. The director and writer of this movie is the same person who directed and wrote the unending Star Wars. He is known as Rian Johnson. This is again another achievement for him. When the first trailer was released in movie houses across the globe it became viral and even the subject of entertainment news before its scheduled release. 

Johnson was able to revive classic cinema by putting a clever, modern twist in Knives Out that no one could have expected. In an article published in The Verge, Knives Out reaches its intended audience, those who love to watch classic movies such as Brick that appealed to fans with a high school flavor, or Looper a satisfying time-travel story. If you have seen those movies, then maybe you can say that Knives Out is indeed a movie that everyone must watch before 2019 ends. 

Knives Out started with a man whose name is Harlan Thrombey, who is extraordinarily wealthy. Of course, who would not be excited among the members of the family if he dies? Everyone would of course, but the twist in this movie is what makes it interesting. Everyone in the family becomes the primary suspect of his death because the incident happened during his 85th birthday and the whole family of characters are present at the home.

The movie introduces three interesting characters and these are Lieutenant Elliot, a local detective and played by Lakeith Stanfield; Beniot Blanc, a charismatic private investigator, played by Daniel Craig; and Marta Cabrera, Harlan's private nurse, played by Ana de Armas. It can be recalled that Ana de Armas caught the attention of the entertainment industry because she is one of the most sought after actresses in Hollywood, and she really made her mark in this film.

The three characters worked together to solve the mysterious case and as the movie moves on from one scene to the other, it becomes increasingly more interesting. Harlan's eldest daughter is scornful, but insignificant, while her husband is unaware of his wife's hypocrisy. Meanwhile, the youngest grandson of Harlan is mocked by the entire family because of his alt-right internet trolling--and for being a pervert.

One of the most interesting reasons why this movie is a must-watch because it has the taste of stories like Agatha Christie-style murders. The audience has some pre-assumptions of the movie, but cast member Don Johnson believes the audience will be pleasantly surpirsed with the twists that await them in this instant classic. 

We will not spoil the movie for you. However, this is indeed a movie that everyone must see. A movie that would take us to a world that is surrounded by quirky people full of hypocrisy, lies, secrets, greed and jealousy. But which one is capable of murder?
