What If Death Came?

Rating: Null/10 (16 November 2006)

MEET JOE BLACK ***1/2 Have you ever feared death? What if death came knocking on your door for you? That's the premise of 'Meet Joe Black', a unique, thought-provoking story of an aging businessman (played by Anthony Hopkins) who has grown wise through life's journey, and Death Incarnate, in the form of an Earth-bound man of curiosity (Brad Pitt), dismissing him from his time on Earth. It's a strange thing for both our characters, as Hopkins, now, must say goodbye to his loves, and Pitt starts exploring the enriching human truths that define ideal relationships, particularly that which becomes of his newfound attraction to Hopkins's daughter. An interesting - albeit overdrawn - movie.
