Movie Reviews of Dead Again
Movie Review: Dead Again - Dead Silly
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm somewhat of a Branagh and Thompson fan but I'm surprised anyone could possibly enjoy this silly film. I don't know whatever came over Branagh and Thompson to partake. Jacobi, as a dodgy antique dealer who hypnotizes people was bad enough but, when he took his subjects into past lives to find their antiques, it just got ridiculous.
Very little that the main actors did was convincing and much of it was irrelevant and confusing to the plot. The switching of accents was as farcical as it was incompetent - ditto, the constant flash backs in black and white.
If the movie, and the story, were consistently awful, the finale excelled. Even "Pirates of the Caribbean" tried to give rationale to characters being fatally shot, and stabbed, but still fighting on. Was it only the crazed operatic accompaniment in "Dead Again" that finally caused them to be all "Dead Again?" For how long one asked?
Emma Thompson, whose portrayal of a dying cancer victim in "Wit" was so poignantly beautiful, must be deeply embarrassed when she thinks back on this movie. She certainly wouldn't want to watch it a second time - nor would I - the first was bad enough.
