Watching Glass Onion, the second entry in the Knives Out trilogy, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was watching a Bond movie. It had that distinct Bond touch, the Bond villain lair, the vehicles, the structure of a villain with a world-ending plot.
It was big, over the top, and glossy. But Wake Up Dead Man? This feels like Rian Johnson decided to pivot entirely. If Glass Onion was Bond, this is pure Sherlock Holmes. It strips away the tech and the spectacle to return to the roots of the classic mystery genre.
