With a game all-star cast ranging from Glenn Close to Andrew Scott to Daniel Craig as the series’ intrepid detective, Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (B-) fixes its grimacing gaze on a peculiar place of worship where Josh O’Connor and Josh Brolin as warring priests have a spiritual score to settle. The set-up is protracted and so is the finale, but there are delights dotting the way as a droll tale of the undead unravels. Johnson imbues his story with equal parts lore and lark as viewers discover the connections between characters within the creation of his unsettling congregation. Characterizations could have been more compelling and the central premise more intriguing, but it’s still a nifty entry in a sturdy franchise. As the most fascinating denizens in the cast and the cloth, O’Connor and Brolin shine brightest in crafty confessions and sparring matches; they both have great fun with their roles. The film contains requisite twists and turns and a handful of surprises, and there may even be some looming lessons bubbling in the subtext. Prepare to get to the core of this stained glass onion this fall on Netflix.
