The Big Sleep!

Rating: Null/10 (11 April 1999)

At $787,000 per minute, "Meet Joe Black" may be the most expensive afternoon nap Hollywood and American audiences have taken in years! With an inane and completely predictable plot, helpless actors who seem to have been told to count to 30 between each line of dialogue, laughably pompous production values and Brad Pitt's particularly lame performance as "Death," this huge ship of fools sinks in three hours while the Titanic only took two!
The many reviews of this film both here and in the press have dealt with the more obvious shortcomings but one cannot deny that Claire Forlani gives the most mannered performance since Sandy Dennis. Her eyes seem to dart everywhere except into those of her fellow actors. She's truly painful to watch.
