GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY (12A)

- ★★★★☆

This sequel to tongue-in-cheek country house murder mystery Knives Out is an ingenious, selfcontai­ned puzzle, which is funnier and sneakier than its predecesso­r.

Eccentric billionair­e Miles Bron (Edward Norton), sends puzzle boxes as invitation­s to a murder mystery-themed party on his private island.

Recipients include Connecticu­t governor Claire Debella (Kathryn Hahn), Alpha scientist Lionel Toussaint (Leslie Odom Jr), Miles’ former business partner Andi Brand (Janelle Monae), social media star Duke Cody (Dave

Bautista), fashion designer Birdie Jay (Kate Hudson) and detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig).

Miles reveals that he will play the murder victim and hidden clues can be pieced together to deduce his killer. The first person to solve the crime wins.

When the sound of a gunshot reverberat­es across the island, Blanc is perfectly placed to peel back layers of deceit and expose at least one blackened heart.

In cinemas Friday and on Netflix from December 23
