The last movie that I rented was After.Life with Christina Ricci, Justin Long, and Liam Neeson. This movie was unlike any other movie I have seen in a long time. It was mysterious in plot and strange in theme. As a viewer, you are left not knowing the real truth.
Christina Ricci plays Anna, a young woman who is feeling caught between life and death. And then she actually is. Her boyfriend Paul (played by Justin Long) is haunted by the feeling that she’s not actually dead when the undertaker Eliot Deacon (played by Liam Neeson) won’t let Paul see the body of his “deceased” girlfriend, would-be-fiancé.
As you watch the movie, you start to wonder whether she is dead or not. There are times were you think she has to be alive! But the movie ends leaving you wondering. All-in-all, it wasn’t as amazing as I would have hoped from the cast. The storyline was pretty unique but the amount of nudity felt a little extreme. Not to mention some really shocking sadistic moments. I wouldn’t watch it again.
