Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025)
92%
7/10
EDIT
“For a story that was supposed to pay homage to Edgar Allan Poe’s stories, the middle portion of this movie lost traction. The darker themes died out in the middle meat of this movie. And yet, somehow it landed super strong in its final few scenes.” –

“With Blue Beetle’s 127-minute runtime, the film had enough meat to savour. I thought the debut of Jaime and the Blue Beetle was endearing and funny—with a good amount of cheesiness to not make me feel lactose-intolerant of the overall viewing.” –
