Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery Review
‘Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery’: A Miracle From Rian Johnson. Johnson brings Daniel Craig’s drawling detective Benoit Blanc back for another murderous whodunnit, this time set in a close-knit church community. Writer/director Rian Johnson breathed fresh, sharply-written life into the mystery genre with 2019’s ‘Knives Out.’ And if ‘Glass Onion’ in 2022 was a seemingly lesser (if still entertaining) follow-up, it’s relief to report that third outing ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ has much more in common –– especially in terms of quality character work and central crime –– with the first movie.
