A film that leaves you guessing.

Rating: 9/10 (4 September 2008)

At first i thought i wouldn't like it. I thought it would be like all films that started off in a coffee shop. Predictable. This was not the case. As the film went on i found it entertaining and full of depth. It soon became clear to me that what the director did (whether he intended to or not) was to make a film that was full of questions that had a number of answers. It is a film that you can interpret any way you want.
Brad Pitt was very good in it. I enjoyed his performance. He starts off as death but life is leaked into him bit by bit. He soon falls for the daughter and i think he soon has enough of being dead and wishes to take a crack at life which i think is truly emotional.
Anthony Hopkins played a powerful character of both love and estrangement, he soon finds out as his life gets shorter that there is more to it than just work and politics.
