《利刃出鞘2》即将上影
《利刃出鞘2》（Glass Onion:A Knives Out Mystery）面临着与成功的前作相匹配的挑战，它保持着剃刀般锋利的配方，在一系列极其巧妙的转折开始之前，它的设置更显着像是阿加莎·克里斯蒂（Agatha Christie）的致敬。编剧兼导演里安·约翰逊（Rian Johnson）再次集结了丹尼尔·克雷格（Daniel Craig）的强大阵容，但正是他对语言的运用——一句话都没有浪费——最终使续集获得了优势。
Netflix机缘巧合地收购了《Knives Out》的特许经营权，并将在12月底推出流媒体服务之前，为这部电影提供为期一周的广泛上映，这与其一贯的“打击电影人的自我”影院发行方式不同。大多数人可能仍会在家中舒适地等待着消费，但对于那些敢于冒险的人来说，它肯定会受到欣赏的观众的欢迎。
《小刀出击》中的家庭动态给了每个人杀掉族长的动机，在这部电影中，约翰逊在另一个场景下试着出手，与一位古怪的亿万富翁Miles Bron（爱德华·诺顿饰）一起，邀请他的老朋友们到他僻静的希腊岛上（至少在新冠肺炎期间）参加一场神秘谋杀之旅，在那里他们将负责解决他的“谋杀案”
Rising to the challenge of matching its successful predecessor, “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” maintains the razor-sharp formula, with a setup that feels even more conspicuously like an Agatha Christie homage before an extremely clever series of twists kick in. Writer-director Rian Johnson again assembles a solid cast behind Daniel Craig, but it’s his use of language – where nary a word is wasted – that finally gives the sequel its edge.
Netflix opportunistically stepped up to acquire the “Knives Out” franchise and, departing from its usual “Stroke the filmmakers’ egos” approach to theatrical distribution, will actually give the movie a wide one-week-only release before it hits the streaming service in late December. Most people will probably still wait to consume it in the comfort of their homes, but for those who do take the plunge, it certainly plays well with an appreciative audience.
After the family dynamics in “Knives Out,” which gave everyone a motive to kill off the patriarch, Johnson tries his hand in a different setting, with an eccentric billionaire, Miles Bron (Edward Norton), inviting his old posse of pals to a murder-mystery getaway (during Covid, no less) on his secluded Greek isle, where they’ll be tasked with solving his “murder.”
