Hereafter

I really want to say good things about this film because it has Clint Eastwood and Matt Damon at the helm. Unfortunately, it fails to be anything other than just a trite story with one really cool scene interspersed with some mediocre lines. What could have been interesting only manages to be tolerable. It’s not boring but it’s not interesting either.  It felt like a forced production that starts well but loses steam. There is even a scene so blatant with emotional manipulation that I remember thinking, “I should be crying right now”. Watching this with a friend was definitely a plus because we got to discuss how horribly satisfying the ending was. I hate it when all the thinking is done for you.
