Based on Mendoza&#8217;s real-life experiences, the film looks like a blistering recreation of a 2006 Navy SEALs mission into territory taken by insurgents. The film is sure to push some buttons and stars D&#8217;Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai as a younger version of Mendoza, Cosmo Jarvis, Will Poulter, Kit Connor, Michael Gandolfini, Joseph Quinn, and Charles Melton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"540\"  data-src=\"https:\/\/www.denofgeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Daniel-Craig-in-Wake-Up-Dead-Man.jpg?resize=1024,540\" alt=\"Daniel Craig in Wake Up Dead Man\" class=\"js-lazy wp-image-966763\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wake-up-dead-man\">Wake Up Dead Man<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>TBA<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.denofgeek.com\/daniel-craig\/\">Daniel Craig<\/a>\u2019s Benoit Blanc returns for at least one more murder mystery on Netflix, and this one is seemingly a more grim affair if its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denofgeek.com\/movies\/knives-out-sequel-wake-up-dead-man-darker-benoit-blanc-mystery\/\">U2-inspired title<\/a> is to be taken at face value.
