Writer/director, Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man – A Knives Out Story does what the Knives Out franchise does best, deliver fun, well-executed murder mysteries that have you looking forward to the next instalment.
Starring Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc, this time the scene of the murder is a small-town church with a dark history, arguably an immediately intriguing setting.
Also starring Kerry Washington, Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin and Mila Kunis, in true Knives Out style, the well-titled Wake Up Dead Man has several twists and turns. You won’t see most of them coming, though you may guess a couple.
If you enjoyed Knives Out (2019) and Glass Onion – A Knives Out Story (2023), then don’t hesitate to watch Wake Up Dead Man. The quality and fun are still there. Plus, O’Connor and Brolin are especially great.
Lastly, I have a feeling you won’t want to miss out on that super delicious punch at the beginning.
Happy Film Loving,

It’s true, the consistent quality is impressive. Josh O’Connor is great in this.
O’Connor is one of those actors who’s noticeably good in everything, thank goodness! 🥳
I really appreciated it and in general I liked that all the movies were very different and still able to Talk about interesting stuff and I liked how they talked about religion and forgivness here. I still prefer the first one but this third chapter is for sure an amazing work.
I agree. The creator, Rian Johnson, is really good at what he does. And long may he continue to do it at a high level. 🤓🥂
I love the series
Same, Beth, same. And long may it continue! 🤓🥂
I enjoyed Josh Brolin’s tyrant guru character the most. And that girl’s revenge when she’s left out of the will. Fun series!⛪︎🍎
Yes! Brolin was brilliant in the role. It must have been super satisfying to play. 🤓
