Review of Hereafter (2010) by Smellycat — 05 Nov 2010
This is really the first Clint Eastwood movie I have taken a strong, strong disliking for. It's got an interesting enough premise, dealing with what happens after you die, but the execution and acting just never came together ot make anything that was believable or thought provoking.
None of the three storylines quite work, though Damon does try his hardest as a lovesick psychic, but he's still just phoning this performance in. Especially painful to watch are the women, Cecil de France and Bryce Dallas Howard, who just kind of obnoxious props in the overall storyline, and lack any depth.
The ending is contrived, the special effects lackluster, and I really hope Eastwood gets a chance to redeem himself after this mess.
