JAKARTA - Director Rian Johnson is back with his latest film, Wake Up Dead Man. This film is the third film from the Knives Out world.
After his first film was a success at the box office, Netflix managed to acquire and add a contract with Johnson for the next two films. The two Knives Out films were finally made with a two-stage screening, namely the cinema and Netflix.
Daniel Craig also returns to play Benoit Blanc, a private detective tasked with solving the murder case. In addition, Josh O' Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington and others also star in the film.
Wake Up Dead Man tells the story of Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’ Connor), a former boxer who is now a pastor in New York. He was mutated after an incident of hitting someone.
Jud then became an assistant pastor at Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude church. The church is led by Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin). Jefferson settled in the church because he maintained the legacy promised by his mother.
When hearing Jefferson's sermon, Jud felt conflicted with his delivery which sounded provocative. The sermon also made many congregants leave the place, except for the faithful congregation.
One day, Jefferson Wicks was found dead inside a storage closet near the pulpit during Good Friday. His body was seen stabbed by a knife taken from the devil's headdress.
How Jud was shocked because the decoration was an item he stole from a bar and he threw it through the church window. Not a few people suspect Jud is the killer.
Police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) recruits Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) to investigate Wicks' death. Blanc asks Jud to solve the case despite Scott's opposition.
Wicks and Jud began interrogating several parishioners who often worshiped at the church. Wicks began to find some potential people, while Jud was torn between service and involvement in the case.
Wake Up Dead Man is available to stream on Netflix from Friday, December 12.
