'Knives Out' fans will find 'Snatch' to have a similar tone and style, especially considering that it turns out to be more than just a crime thriller. Its witty script and absurd moments work to elevate the film above and beyond others in the genre. 'Snatch' is available to stream on Hulu with a Starz subscription. 'Clue' (1985) is a whodunit murder mystery with comedic elements. Based on the classic board. Rian Johnson’s Knives Out proves to audiences that there are still, in 2019, numerous joys to be found in the classic whodunit film — the salacious central crime, the storyteller’s crafty. Knives Out is just a really well told movie. For 2 hr., 10 min., this is finely paced and edited. Johnson really knows how to steer the story, especially the beginning and introduction to the facts of the case.
