It was a crap, boilerplate "white people bad" movie pretending to be a whodunnit! The Murder Mystery is one of the most tightly written forms of story. Every piece must be given in advance and all the pieces must be there to reach the right conclusion. It requires formidable discipline, as a writer, to pull this off successfully.
Agatha Christie is an undisputed master of the artform, and as a result her books have been made into fantastically watchable movies dozens and dozens of times.
In contrast Ruin Johnson smeared this crap on the page.
Mauler and the gang did an EFAP on Knives Out. It just ... falls apart on even the most cursory inspection.
It was worse than terrible!
