If you too were disappointed with Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, you'll be delighted to know that the new movie is immensely better than that.
Whatever you find yourself thinking as you watch Wake Up Dead Man, you'll probably be wrong about what who the good guys are. who the murderer is, and what's is really going on.
THE STORY
Daniel Craig reprises his role as the super sleuth Benoit Blanc when he's asked to solve the mystery of a baffling death inside a quiet country church.
Everyone lies, everyone has secrets, and the young priest new to the parish who has slowly been losing his faith seems to be the prime suspect.
Like all good mysteries, nothing is at it seems. No one is truly innocent, and it's up to Benoit Blanc to find the killer and close the case.
STELLAR CAST
Wow. Great cast. Accompanying Craig on this adventure are Josh O'Connor as the young priest, Glenn Close as the woman who really runs the church, and Josh Brolin as the senior priest. Members of the community are played by Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church.
PRODUCTION DETAILS
Wake Up Dead Man was written and directed by Rian Johnson. On Sept. 6, 2025, the film had its world premier at the Toronto International Film Festival. Then it was released in select theaters the day before Thanksgiving. Streaming on Netflix began December 12, 2025.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
Yes, watch this! It's quite a story—well-plotted, well-acted, and an excellent film noir. It reminded me of a dark and brooding film of the sort Alfred Hitchcock was known for.
