The Minute You Wake up Dead

Cole Hauser and Morgan Freeman are both talented actors who should have run from this movie. Their performances are fine, but good lord. The writing starts off okay (at best) but becomes an absolute farce by the end. It's as though a capable writer began a screenplay and then died halfway through, only to have a drunk junior high student finish it.

If you make the mistake of watching this, you will be grateful when a murder happens. It terminates a performance that might have been decent (per the writing), but was very much not decent in reality.

I've rarely watched a movie where I was rooting for the entire cast to be killed just so it would end.

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.

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.

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)

Lazy effort to go with predictable and bad dialog. Morgan Freeman is simply too old to play the same character he has been playing for 40 years at this point in his career. The overall premise looks promising but it tries really hard to be serious while everyone is phoning it in. Jaimee Alexander is at least beautiful to look at but there is not enough of her in this to make it worth watching. I wanted to like this but it just goes from bad to worse to why would they waste time and money on this? I could literally see toupee glue in one of the early scenes where Cole Hauser is driving. I recommend avoiding this movie.
