Synopsis
When young priest Jud Duplenticy is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, it’s clear that all is not well in the pews. After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.

Viewers of 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery' find themselves divided, with many praising its intriguing plot and strong performances, particularly from Daniel Craig and Josh O'Connor. The film's darker, gothic tone and complex narrative filled with twists are highlighted as strengths. However, some feel the pacing is slow and the character development uneven, with secondary characters lacking depth. The blend of mystery and thematic ambition receives mixed reactions, as it adds richness but sometimes muddles the narrative flow.
👍 Strong performances and a complex, twist-filled plot.
👎 Slow pacing and uneven character development.

Un peu compliqué
من دو تای قبلی رو بیشتر دوست داشتم ولی اینم قشنگ بود نیم ساعت اولش یکم حوصله سربره
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That was a heck of dramas. I feel like Benoit has changed his personality and character this time. I remember he was more quite and calm unlike this season’s Benoit a bit more goofy, emotional and sounded like a Cowboy.
It was a fun watch, a little slow at the beginning and the characters this time weren’t as interesting or exciting. I liked Jud, Wicks, and Cy, but everyone else kinda felt like filler or empty. They didn’t feel like people and more like NPCs to server the story. I liked Jud and Benoit’s dynamic, and the cinematography was great as well, I just feel like I had a better experience watching Glass Onion than this one. Both are very well written and had a lot of effort put into each film, but this film didn’t really captivate me like how Glass Onion did. 7/10
