It could have been a good movie...

Rating: 3/10 (10 November 1999)

This movie has great actors, looks good and is based on an interesting idea, unfortunately, that's not all it takes to make a good movie. The movie fails to go in depth on anything, one should think that with a movie lasting almost three hours you'd have plenty of time to do that. The characters in this movie are too superficial and death is too nice at best, personally I think he's ridiculous, he's romantisized to death. (Please excuse the pun, I couldn't help myself.) Also, I have to wonder how death,as he behaves like autistic person in periods of the movie, suddenly becomes quite brilliant and "with it" at the end. The movie doesn't really have a climax either, it's all very nice and predictable, very, very Hollywoodish. I gather this is a pure money making scheme and not made to upset anyone who is regarded as would be audience.
In short, a very lame movie unless you're hooked on love stories.
