The last episode of the Rian Johnson’s Knives Out series, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, already generates strong online reactions. Daniel Craig returns as a Benoit Blanc detective, this time investigating a scary murder in a religious community. Unlike previous films, which were based strongly on eccentric humor, this third chapter adopts a darker and gothic tone, exploring themes of faith, hypocrisy and redemption.
The film was created at the Toronto International Film Festival, where criticism and the public responded positively. Many viewers on X, formerly Twitter, call it the clearest entrance to the franchise. Praise focused on the covering atmosphere of the film, the inspired narration of Edgar Allan Poe and the remarkable performances of Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close and Josh Brolin. The first reactions include comments as “the most emotional film of knives” and “A Murder Mystery Masterpiece”.
Here are some Twitter reactions:
Fans divided on the Benoit Blanc and Mystery elements
Twitter reactions reveal a mixture of opinions on the film. A user wrote: “In the last entry, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, Rian Johnson moves to darker themes of greed and faith, but the film vacillates with thin characterizations and a white Benoit in a mute, leaving the franchise which has trouble maintaining its edge in the past Sharp.”
Others praised the film, in particular Daniel Craig and Josh O’Connor. A tweet said: “Wake Up Dead Man is one of the best knives! Daniel Craig has never been better! Josh O’Connor is an out -of -competition set! Total has a great dynamic! Come back to his roots on the mystery that kept you guess! 9/10.”
Another noted: “The last of Benoit Blanc is his most ambitious. It is impressive to see how Rian Johnson makes new tips in the knives of mysteries, and he played with me in an unpredictable way while swinging in radicalization through religion. I’m a little surprised. “
Some viewers were more critical. A tweet said: “Wake up dead man: a knives out mystery: Christ, what a disappointment. Too long, too satisfied, far too smart by half. His biggest torsion: Precious Little Daniel Craig. (The real star is Josh O’Connor.) I admit get out of little thrill to hear Mila Kunis dit Yiddish. ”
Another noted: “This third outing for Benoit Blanc unfortunately misses the brand for me. Josh O’Connor steals the spectacle of a mile – less concentrated on the “mystery” and offers more to chew, I do less for me. Not bad by medium, but not OG or OG or glass onion. ”
Here’s how fans can watch the movie
Wake up dead man will follow a unique liberation model. He will have a two -week theatrical race from November 26 before arriving on Netflix worldwide on December 12. Rian Johnson pushed a greater theatrical presence, believing that the common experience of watching a mystery taking place is better appreciated on the big screen before broadcasting at home.
Twitter’s first criticisms suggest that if opinions are mixed, the film had a strong impact. It is rented for its darker tone, its ambitious performance and narration, while aroused a debate on the depth of the characters and the role of Benoit Blanc. With its hybrid outing strategy, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery could mark both a highlight of the franchise and a new approach to the way the films reach the public.
