What message do you think was different than " Get Out" or even " Knives Out"?

Well Get Out was about a deep seated racism and mis-use of other humans.
This movie was about toxic masculinity at its worst, also about Hollywood and it's abuses (though cloaked in the tech world guise) and about Feminism, ultimately.

I've not seen Knives Out, it looked boring to me.

NP. “Pu**y Island”

Oh ok. Well that sort of gives the whole thing away, so its good she changed it.

Knives Out and Knives Out two were both excellent. You really should see them. Really fun.

I didn't know about this movie, but I love Zoe, so I'll check it out. OP, what do you mean you have to see it on the big screen? I'll watch it on my TV, what will I miss out on?

Saw it this weekend too. Thought it was a solid movie. Great acting and cinematography. Did have a Jordan Peele feel, but still its own thing.

I was esp impressed with Tatum's acting...didn't know he could actually do that

It's mainly about the images - the opening shots once they arrive on the island, the atmosphere, the exuberance of youth, the hedonism and the beauty. You think "ah yes, when I was in my 20s and 30s..." and the shots are actually startling, beautiful and well edited. I enjoy the process of the film-making as much as the message of the story itself. I think Zoe Kravitz is a force to be reckoned with and will possibly do great things as a director. I also think that Channing Tatum turns in a very complex and nuanced performance. I don't have an issue with him as some other posters do, but I think he is also a sum greater than his parts.

Could someone simply tell us what the premise of the movie is?

I've seen the Knives Out movies and enjoyed them but I don't get the impression that Blink Twice is similar?

I read that Zoe Kravitz was insistent about him getting the role.

Well she was the director, so its going to be her choice. Not a hard casting to get approved by the producers, Channing Tatum.
