Query: THE 'HEREAFTER' HAD BETTER BE SWEET, TO MAKE UP FOR THIS...

This is an astonishingly disappointing film. The 'hereafter' had better be particularly sweet if you've had to sit through this inordinately pretentious and endless film. Good casting, but impossibly, Ian Holm delivers a genuinely lousy performance - mucking his way through this endless contrivance with accents ranging from Bronx taxi driver, to Jewish deli owner, to South African gem dealer - he's totally lost here and, clearly, making alimony payments by appearing in this ridiculous movie. I suspect the original book is far better. A terrible and arrogant script. Avoid this at all cost.....
