Movie Review: "Hereafter"

The new Matt Damon/Clint Eastwood film, Hereafter begins with the most thrilling tsunami wave since 1972's Poseiden Adventure and ends with a tearful uniting of broken souls: a psychic, an author, and a little boy. It is the long "inbetween" of slowly unfolding those broken lives which will keep most American audiences away.

To the dismay of many, there are no answers in this movie about what is waiting or is not waiting for us after death so neither Christian fundamentalists or Humanist extremists will be satisfied. Instead, it's a simple telling of the stories of people impacted by death, and is played by a wonderful cast and led by a masterful director.
