Afterwards (2008)
6/10
Didnt excell for various reasons...
28 February 2023
The good: John Malkovich John Malkovich John Malkovich. This actor is SOOO good at playing intelligent creeps and he does it again, with so much ease and flair, playing the role of man who can see beforehand who is about to die.

The bad: the opposing actor is a well known French actor, a really good actor in France, but UNFORTUNATELY his English is wooden and sometimes even barely understandable. This French actor isnt terrible for sure, but he is miscast in my opinion.

More bad: this is a mysterious story, but I somehow lost focus and the will to engage after half an hour or so. When the story becomes too farfetched I tune out. But perhaps other fans of mystery movies wont have that particular problem at all.

This movie really looks and sounds the part, with beautiful photography and a great music score. The direction of this movie is solid as a rock. Real craftmanship. Unfortunately this movie didnt end on a high note for my personally, but for those who are into this mystery genre I defnitetly would not want to reject this movie altogether...
