With Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, filmmaker Rian Johnson brings back detective Benoit Blanc , expanding his murder mystery cinematic universe. Although cast in the mold of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot or Peter Falk’s Columbo, Blanc is hampered this time by a haphazard story.

The new cast is a litany of different political stereotypes Johnson likely lifted from Twitter. Duke Cody is a Joe Rogan-type podcaster who carries a firearm and preaches online sermons about masculinity while peddling testosterone pills. Kate Hudson, meanwhile, plays Birdie Jay, an aloof liberal socialite from the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Hosting lavish parties in her penthouse amid the COVID-19 lockdown era, she explains, “It’s fine; they’re in my podcast.

Bron invites his close friends for an opulent party on his private island estate, where he’s staged a murder mystery for them to solve. It isn’t until a full hour into the movie that the real mystery gets underway. It isn’t a clever twist like Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense; it’s a misdirection that makes the entire first hour feel like a waste of time.
