Summary: Matt Damon plays a former psychic named George who is a factory worker because he views his gift of communicating with the dead as a curse rather than a gift. He struggles through his life because of it and his brother wants him to use this gift. At the same time, there are two parallel stories with a twin brother who recently lost his twin and a French reporter who survives a tsunami after being dead.
Review: The movie was slow as to be expected and lacked many moments of drama considering it should have been pretty emotional with the topic. The one thing it does achieve though is the mood and music, but it just couldn't mesh together an intriguing enough of a story that I coudln't find the humanity in each of the characters.
Further Question/Philosophy/Theme: Is there a hereafter or does the plug just get unplugged. Are some things better left unsaid?
Power Rating (Out of 5): 2 Matt Damon played a silent man well and there were moments in the movie that were touching, but the entire plot just seemed too forced. The supporting characters didn't get enough face time to where I felt like I understood how they affected the main characters. It was a movie that I was hyped to watch, but the film left me feeling like it lacked.
