I liked the idea of the movie and it is definitely one you might enjoy if you don’t think too much about it.. However, here are a few issues I had with it:

1. Let me start by saying that I don’t mind long movies, as long as they manage to captivate my attention. However, this one was just too long and slow! There were too many silences, too many stretched out scenes..
2. What is up with that Jamaican accent scene? Why? Like did Death really need to change his accent to communicate with the woman? It felt so out of place for me
3. The movie seems to hesitate between what Joe knows about the humans and what he doesn’t… Like food, towels, beds, crossing the road, all that are strange things he is exploring for the 1st time yet he manages to easily navigate through the city on his own and even come up with the IRS plan at the end
4. Anthony Hopkins is great but I don’t understand what the attraction was to Death here? Why did Joe pick this guy? It is not like we see much of the great businessman that Parrish is after Joe enters the scene.

I don’t really know how exactly to rate this movie but at least I can say I finally got that one off my watchlist.
