Death spins a yarn.

Rating: 6/10 (3 December 2013)

Death seemed more like Santa Claus. His narration had him everywhere all the time. Does he have helper death elves?
The movie is too long, episodic, but still leaves you asking what was Max doing after he left? So much is invested in his survival but he walks into the night until the death update in the tacked on ending.
The movie has a dramatic John Williams score, far from his best work. Perhaps it is the fault of the theater but much of the movie was noticeable very dark.
Outstanding performances make this movie a bit more then sugar coated Nazis. With it faults it was probably a better book. World War II Germany was not the happiest place. Death was a bit too jovial.
Want a better movie with similar elements try "The Diary of Anne Frank".
