Mat Damon's new "Hereafter" drama/supernatural flick recently got released into theaters a couple of months ago. I finally got around to checking it out,and thought it was ok for what it was. It brought a ton of emotions,drama,and a pretty good story line. The flick stars: Matt Damon, Cecile de France, Frankie McLaren, George McLaren, Jay Mohr, and Bryce Dallas Howard.
The movie revolved around George Lonegan (Matt Damon). He's is a retired psychic who used to have a website and lucrative psychic business. However,he gave it all up because he thought his psychic gifts were a curse,and kept him from having a normal life with people.
Now, he works in a factory and seems pretty happy with it. Meanwhile, in other parts of the world, a young boy named Marcus loses his twin brother in a tragic car accident. A French reporter experiences death for a few minutes after almost drowning in a huge tsunami.
George ends up scaring off a possible girlfriend Melanie (Howard) with his psychic abilities because she begs him to read her,and reveals her very painful moments. Eventually, events occur that cause George to meet the French reporter lady at one of her book signings,along with the little boy Marcus who seeks him out so he can speak with his dead brother again.
Hereafter delivered some pretty intense,emotional moments,especially with little Marcus. It concluded with a great,feel good,ending for George. I thought the film was pretty good. I'm more of an action movie watcher. However, I liked the supernatural effects in this film,along with the intense dramatic scenes. It moved along at slow,steady pace,and showed lots of detail.
Comedian Jay Mohr was really good in the film as character Billy. He played the older brother of George who constantly kept pushing George to go back to doing psychic readings as they were very lucrative. In my opinion, the flick was pretty entertaining,but the slow pace of the film had me falling asleep at times. I gave it a grade B-.
