Meet Joe Black

 

USA 1998, 180 minutes
Dir. Martin Brest
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama

 

Aroview: Oddly original premise (actually, updated from 1934's Death Takes A Holiday), drawn out as a loopy ponder on matters of life and death.

Rests on a tremendous turn from Anthony Hopkins as a terminally-ill magnate negotiating the terms of his death with The Grim Reaper, personified by Brad Pitt. Alas, at three hours there's just too much time to meditate on Pitt's complete lack of expression, though it still beats WHAT DREAMS MAY COME as Hollywood's High Religious Statement of 99.
