Meet Joe Black is one of the most underrated films that I have ever seen. Most people dislike this film for it's run time. However, Martin Brest has crafted an explicit movie with a superb story and a classic feel to it with vibrant cinematography and terrific performances from Hopkins, Pitt and Claire Forlani. Pitt gives a nuanced performance and even gives close attention to the body language of his characters. It's got wonderful characters, even the supporting characters are well drawn with superb acting all around. However, the ending is a downer, instead of making a good use of it's material it ends up being predictable and how you would imagine it to be.
