In these mystery movies, world famous detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) investigates the sudden suspicious suicide of a wealthy and famous mystery writer (in Knives Out) and is invited to participate in a murder mystery game by a tech billionaire (in Glass Onion), which turns out to be more realistic than intended. Both cases have numerous motivated and well acted suspects and both are very well shot cinematography wise. While Glass Onion has a nicer setting, Knives Out has a better story.
Juris identified something that turned him off these though - where an Agatha Christie mystery you are given clues as it goes along and at the end can "compare notes" with the on screen detective, these movies give you the answers before our detective works it out. Still an entertaining watch, definitely at least give Knives Out a try.
