Dead end

Rating: 4/10 (5 October 2015)

I gave this a 4 only because Anthony Hopkins somehow manages to get some emotional reaction from me. The other zombies, not so much. As is often the case with the Hollywood schmaltz films, this one works the music and the beautiful faces, and goes lean on the believability and depth.
The idea is interesting, (death comes for a visit), but then just oversimplifies all the roles so much that there is nothing really interesting to ponder about, in the end, other than "oh, really?".
Why did you HAVE to make it a happy ending? Its OK to leave things sad with some hope. So, the dead dude is now back? How does that work? What happens when he goes to get some money out of the ATM and it says, "sorry, you're dead"?
