See How They Run is a movie eager to prove its view of murder mysteries correct. Unfortunately, that view seems to be that they are boring, arbitrary and interchangeable.
The best description I can give of Wake Up Dead Man is that it’s Knives Out with a better mystery and worse cast. That doesn’t mean it’s likely to fool anyone well-versed in the genre, but it’s another fun movie bringing alive an original Golden Age-style mystery with Hollywood magic.
