Movies: Knives Out - Wake Up Dead Man

At nearly two and a half hours long, this third instalment of the Knives Out franchise, Wake Up Dead Man, was 45 minutes too long. At least, in my humble opinion. I started to watch this Saturday night and, got as far as Msgr. Wick' confession to Father Jud outside the church, and gave up due to the trite and childish need to appeal to an audience of 12 year old boys. I didn’t actually finish the movie till late Sunday afternoon.

Sadly, my opinion didn’t change much about the characters and, by the sordid end, hoped they would all end up dead. The only light in this whole hot mess was Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc. He lifted this morass but still, in the end, couldn’t save it from itself.

Two bags of popcorn and that’s being overly generous: 🍿🍿
