I don't know if I'd say that Benoit Blanc is THE greatest fictional detective since Sherlock Holmes but he sure as hell is one of the most enjoyable to watch on screen since Jeremy Brett's Holmes. It's a rarity when a franchise takes the time to so fully flesh out a character and have him be not just intelligent, and perceptive, which you'd expect a detective to be. But <icompassionate</i. And his ability to empathize and see the humanity in the people he interacts with is one of his strengths as a human being and as a detective. It's beautiful to watch. I also didn't really rate Daniel Craig much as James Bond (he was fine, not my fave) but in this, he knocks it out of the goddamn park. I hope the Knives Out series continues for as long as he and Rian Johnson feel like making them.

Given none of his movies are actual mysteries I wouldn't argue him being the best detective ever.

Yes, they are. It's just not necessarily the murder that's the mystery.

ayrt

I actually forgot that more films came out after Glass Onion. But so long as they didn't follow the trend of laying everything out and then explain it all, then consider me simply uninformed.

Interesting stance. What’s your definition of an “actual mystery”?

(Anonymous) 2026-02-26 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Something that isn't given away in the first ten minutes. But as other anon established, my knowledge of these films, especially the later ones are finicky to non-existant.
To answer your question, a good mystery in my eyes, is a plot based around a major quandary or unknown as it's main point. A mystery that stays unsolved until all the pieces come together. This is super basic, but I'm under the weather right now, so anything else I added just did not make sense.

Clue is my favourite movie for example. By how clever the actors are, thought out the story, how each ending is legitimate, but the "real" ending explains it all.

DA

So you clocked the whole vial murder plot in the first ten minutes?

nayrt

(Anonymous) 2026-02-26 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
From their other comments it sounds like maybe they haven’t seen all three and certainly don’t have a strong memory of them.

AYRT

(Anonymous) 2026-02-26 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
If they came out of the first one with the impression that it wasn't a mystery, I have to wonder if they ever even watched it.

Re: nayrt

(Anonymous) 2026-02-26 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. I'm glad someone is listening.

(Anonymous) 2026-02-26 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Do you mean the first movie? If so, yes? The first scene had her thinking she mixed up the vials in the first place?
It was suspenseful, there was a hint of mystery, but the movie as a whole was more suspense than an actual mystery. Like M. Night Shyamalan and his twists not being mystery or whatever either, idk. This isn't news, what's with the interrogation?

(Anonymous) 2026-02-26 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, you're full of shit. Got it.

Another NAYRT - then why even comment on something you haven't seen?

(Anonymous) 2026-02-26 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
The airt asked what I thought a mystery was. I answered. Before that I forgot they came out with more movies that I'd seen, corrected myself right after. I'm sick, sue me.

(Anonymous) 2026-02-25 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Ive never cared for the Sherlock type character but I am here for Benoit Blank. I thought the last movie struggled but I did still enjoy it and will continue to watch the next one if/when it is made!

I don't like Daniel Craig, I'm sorry. :( Maybe I should give this a go and see if I like him better in it.

He's wildly likeable in these movies. I think the only other thing I've seen him is in Bond and you wouldn't know they were played by the same guy.

(Anonymous) 2026-02-26 01:07 am (UTC)(link)

If anyone’s looking for another very anti-Bond role for Daniel Craig, I recommend Logan Lucky. It’s a quirky comedy heist movie and he plays a rather wacky secondary character.

It was quite a fun shock after so many years of him mostly doing serious work, both as Bond and otherwise.

(Anonymous) 2026-02-26 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
He's hilarious in Logan Lucky. I think he's going to be in the upcoming Magician's Nephew, and he'll likely shine in that.

(Anonymous) 2026-02-26 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Now I am curious and will have to try one for sure!

(Anonymous) 2026-02-26 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
He plays a complete different character from his Bond films, if that helps?

(Anonymous) 2026-02-26 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I've been talked into it, I am intrigued now :P

(Anonymous) 2026-02-26 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I hope you enjoy! <3
