- cultfilmliker5 dicembre 2025Jeremy Renner playing himself was rough to watch. Fitting way for his career to end 🤞 Where could they possibly have gotten the inspiration for this man and his followers?? The amount of blackmail he has on everyone is just too real Fun to see the who but slowly discover the ‘why!’ Masterful work by Rian. Was delighted to see Bridget Everett! After seeing Jeff Hiller in Plur1bus, i am just glad Somebody, Somewhere didn’t die in vain! That tree was fucking goofy lol They’re definitely gonna find that fucking diamond if you guys keep hiding it in plain sight!! Watched at Boulevard Theatres in Old Town
- Shaydeknight13 dicembre 2025This film is a great watch. It's confident, engaging, and a welcome reaffirmation that the modern whodunnit still has plenty of life left in it. It stands shoulder to shoulder with Knives Out and is markedly stronger than Glass Onion, which veered too far into silliness for its own good. Daniel Craig continues to do excellent work with Benoit Blanc, both in terms of performance and character consistency. Blanc remains an entertaining presence, but it is worth noting that, as a detective, he is fundamentally different from figures like Holmes, Marple, or Poirot. He rarely explains or overtly demonstrates dazzling deductive prowess. In this installment, he deliberately holds back at the climax (no spoilers), but aside from that structural choice, he is surprisingly passive. In fact, it's curious how much the character plays second fiddle to Josh O'Connor's character, who frequently dominates the dramatic centre of the film. The ensemble cast is outstanding, just a gaggle of talent, all clearly well-directed and well-used. Performances are consistently strong across the board. Even Andrew Scott turns in a serviceable performance, which is notable given that I usually find him about as convincing as a wooden plank delivering a TED Talk. The story itself is well crafted, layered, and structurally sound. One particularly welcome surprise is its treatment of faith. As an atheist (and for many of the same reasons Blanc articulates in the film) I found the depiction refreshingly generous rather than cynical or patronizing. Faith is presented as a meaningful moral and communal force, and the scenes centred on Father Jud's desire to be a good man and a responsible community leader are genuinely touching. These moments add emotional texture without feeling preachy or contrived. Ultimately, Wake Up Dead Man succeeds because it takes the mystery genre seriously. It respects structure, character, and consequence, three things modern cinema too often discards. It is genuinely heartening to see someone in Hollywood committed to keeping the genre alive and treating it with craft and intelligence. We need more mystery films like this, and fewer that mistake cleverness for depth.
- RipLinesMan23 dicembre 2025Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery sets up its church-town whodunit like Event Horizon (1997) remapped onto earthly institutions, and Rian Johnson uses that vibe to make investigation feel like a descent through sealed doors that keep locking behind you. Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc plays the Captain Miller role in spirit, not because he is military but because he treats logic like an airlock and refuses to let hysteria vent the room, while Josh O’Connor’s Fr. Jud Duplenticy radiates the kind of charisma that can become doctrine when the lights go red. Glenn Close as Martha Delacroix and Josh Brolin as Mons. Jefferson Wicks turn status and piety into pressure, like bulkheads under strain, and Mila Kunis as Chief Geraldine Scott functions as the pragmatic crew member trying to keep the ship operational while everyone else starts hearing whispers in the ducts. That is why Paul W. S. Anderson’s masterpiece still matters as a reference point, because Event Horizon’s core duel between Laurence Fishburne’s Miller, containment and responsibility, and Sam Neill’s Dr. William Weir, surrender dressed up as revelation, is the same moral geometry Johnson plays with here: the mystery is not just who did it, it is how badly people want the comforting lie, the shiny answer, the quick absolution, even if it opens a door to something infernal. The movie’s pleasure is watching Blanc navigate that hellish machinery with style and rigor, treating every clue like a warning light on the console, and the ensemble sells the idea that a community can become its own haunted vessel when guilt and power start warping the rules of reality.
- Joe G29 marzo 2026These films are consistent and fun, filling a void left by Steven Soderbergh’s mysteries and capers. The direction is always sharp and stylistic, and what it says about society at large lands more often than not. There’s a confidence in tone and presentation that carries the film even when other elements fall short. Some characters slip into caricature, which has been a recurring issue across these films. But the larger problem is structural. The audience is never really given a fair chance to solve the mystery. The twist is technically present, embedded in earlier scenes, but not in a way that allows viewers to piece it together alongside the detective. It’s revealed rather than discovered. That imbalance matters. Part of the appeal of this genre is participation, the feeling that you’re assembling the puzzle in real time. When that opportunity isn’t there, the payoff feels less earned. The film comes close, but the balance still needs refinement for the final reveal to fully land. Entertaining, well-made, but still just short of what the genre can be when it’s working at its highest level.
