Wake Up Dead Man 9/10
One of the last things L and I watched was this movie. I enjoyed Knives Out a lot and Glass Onion as well. I liked this one but with each of these movies have trouble trying to talk about it. Not because of spoilers but I have trouble writing about detective stuff so this is gonna be short even though it has an incredible cast and a story that was so insane that there was no way in hell I could solve this mystery. Hell, even at one point Blanc was like “I don't know how to figure this out!” A priest that used to box but killed a man in the ring gets sent to a church with a reverend Wick. He is a wild asshole. The people that stay in his church are all weird and want something from him. During service Wick is stabbed to death and later emerges from his mausoleum like some damned miracle.
Now during this movie I was pointing fingers at everyone but pretty much guessed all the wrong folks. Hell, I started guessing people who would become victims. This movie had a great cast and as the movie continued I kept going “Damn! Who not in this?!” One of my biggest complaints when I watch a story involving a crime needing to be solved is when the answer is something that no viewer could reasonably solve and this movie had an answer but I just couldn't figure it out. I already know this is gonna help me playing 6 Degrees Of Kevin Bacon in my head. Realistically they put one of these movies out every year or two and I would watch them. This seemed to have the least amount of Blanc but was still good.
