Meet Joe Black
Good story, but drags a bit. There is a good story here, but as with a lot of recent films, many scenes would have been better left on the cutting room floor. Hopkins is excellent as usual as the big-business man approaching his 65th birthday. Pitt plays an unusual Death, who forces Hopkins to show him around, and falls in love with his daughter. Pitt seems to know so much, but doesn't know many of the simplest thinks about life, and this jarred for me - how come he understands the IRS and tax law, but hasn't heard of peanut butter! Obviously, the romance between Pitt and Hopkin's daughter is doomed, and is played out in a very predictable way. Not really worth a rewatch, except maybe for the bit near the start where Pitt is hit by two cars. AE2Posted by se71 at July 6, 2002 11:01 AM
