Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025)

The third in the Knives Out series, and TLDR: I hope they make more.
A young priest is sent to work at a Parish that has a problematic monsignor and a shrinking congregation. Soon "an impossible" murder occurs that seems to make the young priest the primary suspect. Benoit Blanc shows up to solve the case.
Again, an all star cast, but there is a LOT less focus on them than in previous films, particularly Glass Onion. Josh Brolin, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, and Thomas Haden Church all star. The acting is outstanding, except for one performance... I'm not saying who. I will say that Brolin and Close put on masterclasses with their performances.
The story has a hole or two, but I'll forgive them because this is so much better than Glass Onion and I remember Knives Out having larger holes.
Legit a good movie.
