Poker faced fantasy

Rating: 6/10 (16 January 2002)

Based on R2 DVD 173 min
On reading the plot for 'Meet Joe Black' I was unsure what sort of movie to expect - I mean Death to me is DEATH of Pratchett fame.
This movie plays the fantasy as straight drama and does it rather well. Pitt looks great and Hopkins acceptance of his strange fate if quite believable. The movie is long at almost 3 hours but didn't seem so.
6/10 worth watching.
