! 94% on Rotten Tomatoes? That's insane! It reminds me of the original Knives Out, which was also a masterclass in whodunit storytelling 
. But, you know, I think what really sets Wake Up Dead Man apart is its exotic locations – it's like they took the whole 'globetrotting detective' vibe from the Bond movies and mashed it with Agatha Christie 
. And that cast? Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner... it's like a who's who of talented actors 
. I'm curious to see if this momentum will carry over into Knives Out 4 – fingers crossed!
94% critic score + 94% audience score? That's insane! 
I'm not surprised though, Daniel Craig is still the man 
and Rian Johnson knows how to bring it 
. The fact that it took a slight dip in critical acclaim but still smashed it with audiences says a lot about the franchise's consistency 
. And let's be real, an all-star cast + exotic locations = recipe for success 
. Can't wait to see what's next for Benoit Blanc 
... Knives Out 4 please? 
. I mean, who needs originality when you can just rehash the same plot with a few new faces and locations? It's like they're trying to prove that less is more... said no one ever 
.
. Still, props to them for managing to keep the franchise going, even if it is starting to feel like Groundhog Day 
.
! I mean, 94% on Rotten Tomatoes? That's insane! The fact that it's taking a slight dip from the original but still surpassing its predecessor in audience appreciation is just a testament to Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig's chemistry as a team 
.
. Whatever happens next, I know one thing for sure: Wake Up Dead Man has solidified its place in my favorite mystery franchise list 
94% critic score is insane, like Benoit Blanc's detective skills - he can solve a murder with just one look (and a fancy mustache) 
. I mean, who else can make a film about dead people sound exciting? 
. Can't wait for the next chapter in Benoit's adventures... and maybe some more of that crazy plot twists 
.
It's clear that the new cast and Rian Johnson's direction really delivered. Daniel Craig is so great as Benoit Blanc again 
. Netflix releasing this limited in theaters first was pure genius, I think it really got people hyped and talking. It's going to be super interesting to see if they keep up this momentum with Knives Out 4... fingers crossed 
!
! I mean, 94% critic score and an audience score of 94%? That's insane! It's clear that Rian Johnson has done it again, weaving this intricate web of mystery and suspense that keeps us on the edge of our seats. And Daniel Craig is just perfection as Benoit Blanc 
. Now that this has set a new standard for critical acclaim, I'm hyped to see where the franchise goes from here... maybe even more international locations and some crazy twists 
!
.
its literally changed my life i mean im not even a huge coffee fan but there's something about that creamy green goodness that just hits the spot every time 
. Daniel Craig's return as Benoit Blanc is always a win, but this cast is seriously A-list 
. And with an all-star cast like Josh O'Connor and Jeremy Renner? This film has got it all 
. I'm so hyped for the next installment, whoever gets to direct it
