Dead Again (1991)

[Plain Old Tele]

How many times can you die for love?

Branagh at the top of his game, changing up by doing a contemporary story instead of Shakespeare. This is a great modern noir, fun, exciting, with some great double performances by Branagh and Thompson and some great supporting work by Wayne Knight and Robin Williams. Andy Garcia has a lot of charm, Derek Jacobi adds class, with great cinematography (both black-and-white and color) and a great brooding score by Patrick Doyle.

Tons of fun, the climax is ridiculous in a great way.

If you echo ddddeeee does it come out "Ddddeeee-dddddddddeeeeeeeee-dddddddddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....."?

I'm not sure even how to pronounce it normally.

Anyways, anyone who hasn't seen it yet, here's the trailer (complete with Mr. Voice!):

One of the better films from the 90's.  Robin Williams has a very small cameo and it's one of the highlights of the film and the twist is brilliant.

 

8.5/10

Incredibly undervalued film. Few I know, and I congregate with many film buffs, know it. Ridiculously charming melodrama mystery. My favorite Branagh film. My favorite Doyle score. One of the most hilariously suspenseful climatic finales of any film I've seen. I love this movie. Dialogue's also sharp as hell. Frank's script snaps, crackles and pops. And... Campbell Scott's cameo's a personal favorite of mine as well. Thanks for adding it...

Watch this film and Primal Fear back to back.

Incredible movie. So funny and over the top and yet it manages to have suspenseful twists and a great love story. Doyle's music was perfection.
