Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery X review
One enthusiastic viewer wrote, "Rian Johnson three-peated. Wake Up Dead Man is the most visually striking and thematically potent character-based Knives Out flick to date. A phenomenal study on the consequences of right co-opting of institutionalised religion wrapped in another great whodunnit. JOSH O'CONNOR! [sic]"
Another fan shared, "Wake Up Dead Man: Rian Johnson is three-for-three with the Knives Out series. Another terrifically crafted, written and directed mystery, with a spectacular ensemble cast led by an incredible Daniel Craig and a fantastic Josh O'Connor. Absolutely loved every minute of it [sic]."
And a third simply said, "Wake Up Dead Man is a triumphant success. The third Knives Out instalment delivers greater emotional depth, striking cinematography, and layered themes under Rian Johnson's direction. Josh O'Connor shines with a career-defining performance. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! [sic]"
Third time's the charm for WAKE UP DEAD MAN, the deliciously entertaining new installment in Rian Johnson's Knives Out series. Darker than the first two, this one is an old-fashioned gothic murder mystery. The ensemble cast is fantastic, especially Josh O'Connor and Glenn Close. pic.twitter.com/2lbXowt4mP

I was absolutely tickled and delighted by Josh O'Connor's performance in Wake Up Dead Man along with the rest of the ensemble. It's so wonderful to see Rian Johnson continuing to find new ways to circumvent expectations and explore different ideologies through each Knives Out ? pic.twitter.com/nD8W673RAc

About Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
Detective Benoit Blanc, the protagonist of the movie, refers to incident as his "most dangerous case yet." Although specifics are kept under wraps, the atmosphere promises a blend of suspense, incisive narrative, and in-depth character analysis.
As with the preceding movies, "Wake Up Dead Man" is named after songs by Radiohead and The Beatles. This time, it draws inspiration from a 1997 U2 song from their album "Pop," which is a favourite of Johnson's, who believes that the message of the song is a great fit for the movie.
Johnson adds a layer of intrigue for perceptive viewers to consider by mentioning the phrase's origins in American folk music.
Wake Up Dead Man is already destined to become a Knives Out classic because to its captivating cast- Daniel Craig and Josh O'Connor, as well as Johnson's distinct style.
