Daniel Craig returns as Benoit Blanc in 'Wake Up Dead Man', the latest Knives Out installment. Josh O'Connor, however, nearly steals the show as Father Jud, a former boxer turned priest. Set in a gothic-style village, the film boasts a darker tone than its predecessors but retains the series' signature humor and playful twists. O'Connor's performance is lauded, though Craig's Blanc remains a pivotal character. The film features a star-studded cast, including Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, and others, delivering a captivating mystery with religious themes and meta-references. Despite a slightly long runtime, the film is deemed a success.
