Synopsis
Director Clint Eastwood delves into the mysterious world of the hereafter with this ensemble supernatural drama starring Matt Damon, Cécile De France, Jay Mohr, and Bryce Dallas Howard. In the wake of a near-death experience during a powerful tsunami, French television reporter Marie (De France) takes her married lover's advice to pen the political book she has always talked about writing. As hard as Marie tries to stay focused on the task at hand, however, she repeatedly finds her attention diverted to scientists who have been stigmatized for investigating the afterlife. Meanwhile, in America, reluctant psychic George (Matt Damon) struggles in vain to cease using his powers for profit while falling for a gorgeous stranger (Bryce Dallas Howard). All the while, his greedy brother (Jay Mohr) prods him to milk his ability for all it's worth. Over in London, a pair of inseparable twins is forcibly parted by tragedy when one of them dies suddenly. The harder the more introverted surviving twin (Frankie McLaren) attempts to reach out to his deceased brother in the afterlife, the deeper his mom sinks into heroin addiction. When his mother goes into rehab, the grieving boy is placed in foster care, and begins succumbing to his corrosive ennui. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A Real Sleeper
Save your time
May 3, 2011Every time i look at reviews for this movie it always shocks me as to how many people liked it. I'm sorry to say (especially as a fan of Matt Damon) that this movie is garbage. Even with nothing else to do after watching it I felt like the little kids in "South Park" that wanted their money back after seeing Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ". The story is alright and the cinematography was actually quite excellent but the movie is slow and really confusing. 95% of the movie spends its time following three seperate story lines that appear to have little to do with each other except for a minor incident until the last few minutes of the movie where all three story lines are wrapped together. Done so in such a hurried fashion it leaves the veiwer wanting to know more and to have a lot more character development take place.

I'm glad I didn't spend too much for this Blu-Ray
June 20, 2012I thought this movie sounded great, but was mistaken. This must have been a money grab for Damon. Terrible story line, bad acting by the female lead. The ending was so anti climactic , it just about made me mad that I had wasted the time watching this boring movie.

Looks like we're having trouble displaying reviews for this feature
Had little to chose from on demand, so settled for this. Boy was I pleasantly pleased as to the entertainment value of this movie. I liked it so much I purchased the DVD after watching it 3 times on demand. The plot has been used before, but not cheesey, and the use of foreign actors actually playing foreigners, and not americans playing them made it so different, even though the subtitles did become challanging at times. Over all a very entertaining movie with top notch special effects, I guess thats why Speilberg and Eastwood did the movie. Well worth the view, a real sleeper.
