MOVIE REVIEW : KNIVES OUT
Knives out is a 2019 American movie directed by Rian Johnson. The stories started with a birthday celebration of Harlan Thrombey which is a wealthy mystery novelist and the head of the Thormbey's family. Things happened upside down after Harlan's housekeeper, Fran found him dead with his throat slit. Then, two inspectors, Lieutenant Elliot and Trooper Wagner believe Harlen death suppose to be suicide but Benoit blanc which is a private detective who is hired anonymously think other wised.
Everyone didn't know what happened but Harlan's nurse, Marta Cabrera know exactly what happened. She mixed up his medication, making her think that she overdosed him with morphine and didn't found the antidote which is supposedly to be in her bag. Leaving Harlan only a minute to leave, He gave Marta instruction to create a false alibi to save her and her mother who is a immigrant and illegally staying in America and finally silt his own throat. When Blanc asked something to marta, she had to gives accurate but incomplete answer or she will vomit. She agree to assist Blac in Harlan's investigation and conceals evidence of her action. When Harlan' will being read. Everyone shocked when all the asset and money goes to Marta. Angering their family because they cant except the will, Marta ran away and asking helped from Ransom who is one of harlan's granddoughter but he manipulates her into confessing to him; he offers help in exchange for some of the inheritance. The other Thrombeys try to persuade Marta to renounce the inheritance and Walt(one of the thrombeys's families) threatens to expose her mother's immigration status.
Soon after that Marta receives a blackmail note with a partial photocopy of Harlan's toxicology report. She and Ransom drive to the medical examiner's office, but it has burned down. Marta receives an email proposing a rendezvous with the blackmailer. Blanc and the police spot them, and after a brief car chase Ransom is arrested; Blanc explains that Harlan's mother saw Ransom climbing down from Harlan's room the night he died. At the rendezvous, Marta finds Fran, drugged. She performs CPR and calls an ambulance. She confesses to Blanc, though Ransom has already informed on her, and she decides to tell the family that she caused Harlan's death, which would invalidate the will under the slayer rules.
After that, they back at the mansion, Marta finds a copy of toxicology report in Fran's cannabis stash and give it to blanc without reading it. Then he opened it and quickly intereupts Marta before she can confess her sins in front of the family.Blanc reveals his deductions to the detectives, Marta, and Ransom: After Ransom learned Harlan was leaving everything to Marta, he swapped the contents of Harlan's medication vials and stole the antidote so that Marta would kill Harlan and thus become ineligible to claim the inheritance. But Marta actually gave Harlan the correct medication, subconsciously recognizing it by its viscosity, and she only thought she had poisoned him after reading the label. When the death was reported as a suicide, Ransom anonymously hired Blanc to expose Marta. Fran saw Ransom tampering with the crime scene and sent him the blackmail note. After Ransom realized Marta was not responsible for Harlan's death, but Marta still thought she was, he forwarded the letter to Marta and burned down the medical examiner's office to destroy evidence of her innocence. He overdosed Fran with morphine, intending for Marta to get caught with Fran's corpse. Ramson try to attack Marta with knife from Harlan's collection and turn out to be a stage knife. The police arrest him. In my opinion this movie is one of the mystery movie that I ever watched.
