The Minute You Wake Up Dead

Lololol I just watched the toe scene for the fifth time and I can't stop laughing. That has to be one of the worst (best?) cases of overacting I've ever seen. To make it even funnier, the audio dubbing is completely off. AND they keep switching back to the other actors, giving their lines seriously and professionally, and then back to him and his "performance." I seriously can't stop laughing.

Why can't Jaimie Alexander get better roles???

This movie is terrible. I could tell from the first five minutes. It reeks of streaming level quality. It's highly predictable and very dumb. They laughably try to force in some themes. And then the movie just kind of ends. They don't explain how or why things are resolved. They just are. GG.

I think any direct-to-video movie with "and Morgan Freeman" on the cover should now be avoided at all costs. (1 viewing, 4/12/2023)

Why Morgan Freeman put his name to this, I will never know. He was barely in it but when he was, there was a distinct lack of effort.

It was doing ok but as soon as it started to get bad, it went downhill fast. From half way through, it felt like something that lost investment and interest from those producing it, and those acting it. Almost like from half way, they'd all got a bit fed up and decided to hurry it along so they could go and get on with their day jobs.

Some of the acting was awful. The character who worked in the kitchen, had me checking online to see if it was a comedy. His acting was dire and he felt like a children's film baddie. I couldn't bring myself to watch the last 10 minutes.

It started out really good then became disappointing, a few twists brought it back to life, but then some poor acting on the lesser actors made it goofy.. It started to turn into Mayberry with murders. It seemed like a serious show that turned into a side gig comedy. The stunts were of poor quality and laughable. The ending for me was totally lame, uneventful and anti-climactic. It could have been a really great movie and Morgan Freeman & Cole Hauser did well. I hope that someone remakes this movie using better writers than these. So glad I didn't pay theatre prices to see this unexceptional film.

You can tell this was a newb filmmaker entry, and there's nothing wrong with that, because they have to start somewhere. However, rookie mistakes aside, it showed promise, but in the third act the writing became lazy and sloppy. It started off plausible, and as the twists started, it became a little more exciting, but then it was one plot hole after another, and then the laughable shake your head moments took away from the decent set-up. The casting and performances were good enough - especially considering the novice cast directing, and you know most of this film's low budget went to Morgan Freeman. The cinematography was decent as was the score. Had the writing been more cohesive and smarter after the mid-way mark, I would've easily given this a 7/10.

Do the worst acting ever in your careers or the worst acting you have ever seen any other actor do. I ended up laughing at it & myself for spending $7 on it. It started off slow using about every cliche you have ever heard. It look like it was a movie made in the 1950s. Lucky for my husband he fell asleep 5 minutes in. Please save yourself & your $7. If you watch it, you will be kicking yourself for it. Really great actors that must have been desperate for money. I can't even imagine a person watching this movie & then saying. "It was so great, I had to watch it twice". I am usually better at picking movies than this.
