“The Minute You Wake Up Dead” (** out of four) was an overly contrived suspense potboiler about an insurance investor (Cole Hauser) who gets mired up in a financial scheme with his neighbor (Jaimie Alexander) which leads to the involvement of the hard-nosed town sheriff (Morgan Freeman) and all of them begin to question whose double-crossing who as the bodies start piling up. Packed with neat twists and turns that keep you watching and guessing but become improbable after a while and film’s underlying problem is you don’t simply care about the characters and what happens to anybody. Good cast keeps this together as much as possible but Freeman is a little long in the tooth to continue playing cops.
