We all love a good whodunnit and we found Glass Onion to be a masterclass in writing, acting and… well, pretty much everything.
Daniel Craig does his best Southern drawl as Benoit Blanc, detective extraordinaire who arrives in Greece to solve yet another puzzling mystery among a group of friends. They all seem to have their own agendas and secrets, so Blanc has his work cut out in the blistering sun.
A new trailer gives you a better idea of what to expect from Rian Johnson’s new film.

Full synopsis of the film reveals a bit more of the plot:
Benoit Blanc returns to peel back the layers in a new Rian Johnson whodunit. This fresh adventure finds the intrepid detective at a lavish private estate on a Greek island, but how and why he comes to be there is only the first of many puzzles. Blanc soon meets a distinctly disparate group of friends gathering at the invitation of billionaire Miles Bron for their yearly reunion. Among those on the guest list are Miles’ former business partner Andi Brand, current Connecticut governor Claire Debella, cutting-edge scientist Lionel Toussaint, fashion designer and former model Birdie Jay and her conscientious assistant Peg, and influencer Duke Cody and his sidekick girlfriend Whiskey. As in all the best murder mysteries, each character harbors their own secrets, lies and motivations. When someone turns up dead, everyone is a suspect. Returning to the franchise he began, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Rian Johnson writes and directs Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and assembles another all-star cast that includes a returning Daniel Craig alongside Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline with Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista.
Glass Onion will screen in cinemas for one week only from November 23 -29 before streaming on Netflix from December 23. Just in time for Christmas.
