Where to Watch Just Play Dead (2026) in the US

What it's about

Wealthy criminal mastermind Jack Wolfe is cornered by the Feds, but you can't arrest a dead man. His plan? Fake his death, claim a $30 million insurance payout with his grieving wife Nora (Eva Green), and frame her surfer lover Chad. But Nora, suffocated by Jack's ruthless control, has her own scheme: kill Jack for real, frame Chad, and keep the fortune for herself. Jack, always a step ahead, sets a deadly trap, turning the unsuspecting lovers against each other. As lies unravel and evidence goes up in flames, Nora and Chad scramble to overcome him, and the stakes erupt in an explosive yacht showdown, leaving one burning question: who will outwit, outlast, and outplay in this twisted game of life and death?
