The post “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” Was Worth Waiting For appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Glass Onion takes us to a private Greek island, owned by the tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton). He sends an invitation in the form of an elaborate puzzle to his inner circle, but their perfect holiday is disrupted by the arrival of Daniel Craig’s master detective Benoit Blanc. He quickly hijacks Bron’s make-believe murder mystery, making room for the real, much more compelling case to unfold.
Like with the first Knives Out film, one of Glass Onion’s strongest suits is its A-list cast. Janelle Monáe brings some gravitas to a rare comedic role, while Kathryn Hahn, Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, and Leslie Odom Jr. round up the cast as Bron’s “disruptor” best friends, each one proving as the perfect pick for their respective characters.
The group’s dynamic, informed by their complicated shared past is one of the film’s driving forces. From Hudson’s washed-up supermodel to Bautista’s men’s rights activist, they’re all dependent on Bron and clear reflection of real-life celebrities and powerful figures occupying modern headlines and social media.
Glass Onion is a perfect satire for the Elon Musk era and does a great job deconstructing the myth of billionaire “geniuses” without hitting us over the head with the metaphor. At the end of the day, it also gives us what we came here for—a great murder mystery that only Benoit Blanc could solve, making us look forward to more adventures in Rian Johnson’s ever-expending franchise.
Rating: 4.5/5

]]>The first image from the film shows Daniel Craig’s Detective Benoit Blanc attending a glamorous dinner party. They’re all sitting at the table while an elaborate glass chandelier hangs above their heads. The film itself is named after the Beatles’ song “Glass Onion” after the director Ryan Johnson searched his music library for songs containing the word “glass”.
Glass Onion will focus on tech billionaire Miles Bron, who invites some of his nearest and dearest for a getaway on his private Greek island, but they quickly realize that all is not perfect in paradise.
The film’s ensemble includes Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista, and Johnson approached the process of casting them as “throwing a dinner party”.
“At the end of the day, just trying to get the best actors in each part, the actors that are most right for each individual part. So, you also just throw the dice and hold your breath. Luckily, we got a great group that really meshed,” Johnson told Netflix.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will start streaming on Netflix on December 23, following theatrical release in select theatres.
