The idea of Death becoming a person and experiencing things for the first time is an excellent concept. The runtime is 3 hours but if you have the patience, the story unfolds interestingly good and will linger in your head long after the credits roll. Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt were amazing.
A good example of a Mission: Impossible movie if it was directed by Guy Ritchie. It's a typical action thriller but the 3 leads make it work. The action scenes were not overblown and were good. I wanted a hand-hand combat sequence though. I would love to see a sequel just to see the relationship and characters of Sid, Bronco and Rachel get explored more.
The whole cast is back in top form in this worthy legacy sequel. It retains the charms and quirkiness of the original while expanding the story. It was also good to see Miranda have a little more warmth beneath her signature fierceness.
I haven't seen the original Korean movie yet pero for a Filipino found footage horror, this was quite good. I liked that Enrique, Jane and the rest of the cast are playing themselves. That was a nice touch. For the horror, okay naman. May mga effective jump scares and a creepy ng setting. Nagustuhan ko to.
The concept has been done in various forms before but the execution, script and performances here are all great. Darkly funny and disturbing. A modern horror classic.
Never heard of this film before. A hidden gem for me. Smartly written and directed with a stellar ensemble cast. A tale showing how bad decisions and wrong timing can lead to horrible and darkly comedic outcomes. It's also refreshing to see Rachael Leigh Cook in a bad girl role. Love her.
