Glass Onion (2002) is a wonderful sequel to Knives Out (2019), with Daniel Craig returning as Detective Benoit Blanc. It's in theaters, but also available streaming on Netflix.
Billionaire Miles Bron invites his long-time friends to celebrate on his private island, where he is going to make a major announcement. Much to his surprise, he finds that Blanc has somehow also received an invitation but he decides to make the most of it. We gradually learn that everyone has secrets they would not like revealed and a murder takes place. Blanc takes charge and the mystery slowly unfolds.
Director Rian Johnson does a wonderful job maintaining the mystery and humor that he showed in the first film but goes off in a different direction. The cast is a delight with everyone getting some time in the spotlight as their secrets are revealed. It was fun to see a bit of Blanc's homelife revealed, along with his roommate. What a funny surprise!
