Hereafter (2010)
1/10
Wretched, a lesson in what not to do in a movie

Warning: Spoilers
I seriously suspect that all the gushing reviews for this movie are by paid reviewers hired by the studio to try to save this awful movie.

Warning, avoid seeing the movie Hereafter at all costs! Time will seem to stop. You will witness disastrous dialog, cringe-worth acting, and some of the most heavy-handed foreshadowing I've ever come across.

This is the first time I've been motivated to review a movie on IMDb and I did so to warn other people about how bad this movie is.

Some of the scenes were laughably bad. The worst scene was when one of the twin brothers was sent to the pharmacy to pick up something for his mom. It's obvious something bad is going to happen to him because this is a movie about the afterlife, he decides to go instead of his brother at the last second, and all along the way to the shop he's talking to his brother on the cell phone about how great it is that his mom is about to quit doing drugs and that finally everything was starting to look up for their family! Seriously, this happened. A child could have written this. I knew before the boy left his house that he was going to be struck by a car. Anybody who has ever seen a movie would know this. And yet they had to shove it down our throats as we watched the boy plod through his lines like a robot (miserable acting) about how everything was going to turn out all right. Eastwood should be ashamed of himself.
