Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) has joined the echelon of iconic detectives. Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Benoit Blanc…they are the last men you want to see when you’ve committed a crime. And now Rian Johnson’s third installment in the Knives Out franchise is here and it is glorious.
Craig returned as Blanc in the new film, Wake Up Dead Man, which stars Josh O’Connor as Father Jud, a priest who is trying to help Blanc and the local police solve a murder. But what ensues is a movie that is less about the beauty of a whodunit and more about the exploration of faith and what drives us towards seeking guidance from a higher power.
