A good movie for romantic lovers who have time.
Directed by Martin Brest
Susan Parrish (Claire Forlani) meets a man in a coffeeshop and they feel a connection. Susans father Bill Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) gets a visit of Death (Brad Pitt) who wants to live the life of a human and disguises himself in the young man from the coffee shop. He calls himself Joe Black. He follows Bill around and gives him disturbing news. Susan and Joe deepen the connection and Bill isn’t ok with it. The day of Bills birthday, as Joe and Susan say good-bye she realises who he is and what he is going to do with her father and he realises who she fell in love with.
Brad Pitt has as always no problem with his looks and does a great job to bring the character of Joe to a higher level.
Claire Forlani does a good job impersonating Susan.
I think this movie is okay but way too long. But it was way too long. There is a lot of staring around. There are scenes that are quite literally staring. But I found the story cute.
