It releases tomorrow.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

Read our review: gcr.quest/4-point-revi...
A quote about the movie, "Wake Up Dead Man." The background shows Daniel Craig's character, Benoit Blanc, leaning against a tree in a forest, wearing a suit and sunglasses, with a hat and jacket draped over his arm. In the distance, a tombstone is visible. Overlaying the image is a pink-to-red gradient text box containing the quote: "My opinion is Wake Up Dead Man overall is the best entry into the franchise. It has the most elaborate mystery with some great visuals and setting. -NAA" Large, stylized pink quotation marks are also overlaid on the image, behind the text box.

Benoit Blanc returns with the latest instalment of the Knives Out franchise: Wake Up Dead Man. This rural, gothic mystery is the best the series has ever been.
