types of illocutionary speech acts presented by all characters in the movie "Glass Onion: A Knives
Out Mystery" (2022) by Rian Jhonson through the movie script. This movie is in the mystery,
detective, and comedy genres. In this research, I analyzed five types of illocutionary speech acts
based on Searle's theory: assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. This research
used a descriptive qualitative method to analyzed illocutionary speech acts and analyze them
individually because this research is retrieved through movie scripts. The results of this research is

to 14 data, the second illocutionary speech act directive amounted to 10 data, the third illocutionary
speech act commissive amounted to 9 data, the fourth illocutionary speech act expressive 10 data,
and the fifth speech act directive 10 data. Based on the analysis, all illocutionary speech acts are
