Knives Out (2017)

[ase]

Tonight I watched Knives Out. It was a very me movie viewing. First: watching a movie five years after everyone else. Second: appreciating most of the cinematography, scoring, and actor cameos, but probably missing several important cameos. Third: moderately hung up on the medication twist's real-life plausibility, and whether Marta would still get nailed for a med error by the state nursing board, because she "should have" read the labels.

Though - now that she's inherited the house, the liquid assets, and Harlan's intellectual property, keeping her nursing license active may be less critical to Marta's future life plans.

if she was as good a nurse as Blanc said, she'd have spotted the swapped labels.

As someone who's used similar rubber-cap vials in different circumstances, I'm trying to figure out how Marta would have missed the needle-marks from Ransom's tampering. But once you start pulling the thread suspending disbelief, there's a lot to unravel. People really like the Knives Out message, but the structure could be tighter.
