If one thing in life is certain - it's DEATH!!

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2002)

Oh yes it is people!!! let's face facts here - we are all going to die, it's just a matter of when and how.
I love the concept of Death, in a morbid kinda way. It's fascinating that we are all 'born to die'. Ironic eh?
I loved this film, and even though it slips into the teen-slasher genre, this film displays some kind of intelligence in the handling of it's subject matter.
The story is very straight-forward, and it's conception is very good.
Death has a plan for us all, and when some students 'cheat' Death, he/it comes looking for them, and disposing of them in quite unique ways.
I will NEVER EVER get on an airplane after watching this movie. Never cross the road without looking. And I'll be more careful when drinking a coffee by my computer. It just goes to show, we can go at anytime.
I could dissect this concept for hours, but I think I should do that somewhere else.
The hip, young and very sexy cast - Ali Larter!!!!! Go girl!!! - all live and die respectively. Tony Todd (does he personify Death in this film?) gives a lovely turn as erm...a guy in the mortuary!
Good script, breathtaking SFX especially the Plane crash!!! make this a great film for those who are afraid to live and to die.

watch it and be treated to a thought provoking universal truth.
9/10
