HEREAFTER(2010)


Clint Eastwood's latest film intrigued me to say the least. A drama/supernatural that tells the story of how three different perspectives deal with death. An ambitious idea that falls pretty flat unfortunately. You get lost and extremely bored at the three stories being told in the two hour plus running time. You don't ever care or know where the story is going. The movie just ends and leaves you wondering what the purpose of the movie was? It's not a total bomb, but one of Eastwood's weaker stories to date.


Matt Damon is a psychic with the ability to genuinely talk to the dead. He's given up on that life, so he can try and live a normal life. Across the world a lady has a near death experience while drowning and is left to figure out her life. While a boy is left to figure out why his brother is gone and how to cope with death.


This is a rental at best, but be prepared for a slow and drawn out story.
