Surely calls for a re-watch in the light of your comment.<br /><br />As for 'Knives' I'm with you on the curious casting of Daniel Craig though I did think he quickly added to the 'fun' of the film. <br />It was indeed a shame that Toni Collette and Jamie L.C. didn't get more to do, but that was inevitable with the kaleidoscope of players that the plot (quite clever, methought) demanded. A stronger focus on individual members may well have given things away. <br /><br />Yes, that 'hole' in the plot that you mention did stretch credibility more than a little, but when you knew beforehand that Craig was going to be the central figure in the whole affair I for one quickly got over it.<br /><br />All in all, it was more than just 'enjoyable' for this spectator. So far it's only one of five films I've seen this year to which I've accorded an '8' rating, so pretty well bound to feature in my 'Best of 2019' list coming up in three weeks or so.<br /><br /> Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.com
