It will be the event not to be missed in December on Netflix. Three years after his last adventures, Benoit Blanc resumes service in front of Rian Johnson’s camera. The saga With pulled knives No longer has to make its reputation, it has established itself as a real renewal for the genus “whodunit” as much as the engine of a new wave of similar productions … Only Murders in the Building or even more recently The residence. But after three films, does the famous investigator manage to renew himself? Will he be cheating Hercule Poirot for good?
Presented at the Toronto Film Festival, With knives pulled 3: wake up dead man The first criticism is offered. While the appointment is made for the December 12 on Netflixsubscribers can already take the temperature. As a reminder, this third film will evolve around a religious community affected by a drama. A murder has just taken place and the police chief Geraldine Scott called on Benoit Blanc to find the culprit. We take stock.
The best of all?
Doing a sequel is never easy, especially when the criticism was excited from the start and the expectations are immense. Yet, Glass Onion Was imposed itself as the perfect continuity of pulled knives and had no trouble inviting itself among the most seen films on the American platform. Wake Up Dead Man must finish devoting Benoit Blanc, camped by the inimitable Daniel Craig, to the rank of icon of popular culture. Good news, Johnson’s third film arrives there on many paintings. According to The Wrapthe project is even more successful than its predecessors. Journalist Chase Hutchinson does not hesitate to qualify as third (and last part) as best of all.
“Although Wake Up Dead Man is the most concerned with existential questions surrounding death, it is also the most alive. It is the most elaborate police film to date … but also the most moving”.
A feeling shared by Collider And journalist Ross Bonaime. According to him, Rian Johnson may well have the best trilogy in recent years … The most successful. By drawing inspiration from Edgar Allan Poe to tell faith and radicalization, the director has renewed himself in his themes and his approach. In the realization too, it would seem that Johnson has found a way of offering a rise in power.
“Johnson finds a way to surpass himself and experience new things every time ”. The critic adds: “Wake Up Dead Man is intelligent, mysterious and perfect for our time”. While he laughed tech gurus in Glass Onionwith a barely disguised caricature of Elon Musk, the director is attacking this time with religious charismatic leaders and the way in which faith can be the answer in troubled times as much as the catalyst. For Variety, Wake Up Dead Man is also a homecoming and narrative ingenuity. The mystery is unbearable.
An investigation of a complexity never seen
If the subtext of Johnson’s stories is obviously one of the arguments in favor of this trilogy, it would be nothing without an obsessive mystery. On this point too, Wake Up Dead Man is a success to believe the press. American criticism agree that the project is solid and that it will give the brains to the amateur investigators. If you could blame Glass Onion a certain precipitation, the film cutting off its cards a little too early. Variety Specifies that this third film is finally more in line with the first opus. “This is more rooted and organic than Glass Onion, it brings us back to the ingenuity of the first film”. Punch Drunk Critics adds that he has:
“The most complex mystery of all, addressing both questions of faith, redemption, revenge and forgiveness”.
