Warning: Minor spoiler ahead for "Glass Onion" (the spoiler is unrelated to the movie's main mystery plot).
The first time anyone hears Daniel Craig's Kentucky-fried accent in "Knives Out," it's a hilarious and unexpected joy. "Surely, he isn't going to speak that way the whole movie?" most viewers probably think to themselves. It's quite the initial shock to see the man we've known as James Bond for many years fully committing to a great bit, but by the end of "Knives Out," Benoit Blanc's deep Southern voice eventually becomes as charming as it is disarming. As most of "Knives Out" unfolds from Marta's (Ana De Armas) perspective, Benoit's silly accent keeps us on edge about whether or not he's the legitimate mystery-solver he claims to be or a flashy poser. Every gentleman sleuth has their quirks. Hercule Poirot has his signature mustache, and Benoit Blanc has his voice.
