Daniel Craig plays a distinguished detective unweaving family deceit in the thrilling new trailer for Rian Johnson’s black-comedy murder-mystery film Knives Out.

Suspecting foul play, Blanc and partner Troy Archer (Lakeith Stanfield) isolate each family member and grill them with questions about their potential motives — from finance to business to a romantic affair.
