School teacher Anna Taylor (Christina Ricci) and her boyfriend Paul Coleman (Justin Long) are having relationship problems. Anna gets into a car accident and wakes up on the preparation table of funeral director Eliot Deacon (Liam Neeson). Deacon tells her that she's dead. She's confused and wonders if she's in a ghostly transitional place.This movie has a great premise with horror potential. However, it's more interested in a naked Ricci than building a horror movie. It has some creepy atmosphere but it fails to do anything with it. The ending lacks power. The twists lack intensity. The writers need to come up with some more twists and probably some action to take this great premise to the next level.

As it's own story, I like Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo's "After.Life". As a movie, not as much. Both Christina Ricci and Liam Neeson put on great performances: her Anna sinks into confusion about her life (or death?), while his Eliot comes across as the typical guy whose nice demeanor might be hiding something. The rest of the cast doesn't equal them, and despite the unique plot, much of the movie seems like stuff that I've seen before.And then there's the cast, or what it implies. Despite Ricci's versatile career, I still remember her as Wednesday Addams. Liam Neeson used to be known for serious roles - Oskar Schindler and Jean Valjean - but now stars in a bunch of dumb action flicks. I don't know if Justin Long has a most famous role, but I always remember him from "Jeepers Creepers". Malachy McCourt is the brother of "Angela's Ashes" author Frank McCourt, and ran for governor of New York on the Green Party ticket in 2006. And then there's Alice Drummond, who's played supporting roles in a variety of movies ("Ghostbusters", "Awakenings", "In & Out", "Doubt", to name just a few).So, it's an OK, not great movie.

I think the only real reason I watched this film was because Liam Neeson was in it. And he proved to be the only thing worth my time in this film.The story probably could have been decent or great if more time was taken with the script and the plot was a little further feathered out. This lack of attention and development is also seen in the characters as they are all really poorly developed. Entire character aspects and conflicts will be teased but never touched upon again and the only character that sees any semblance of growth is the character that is dying. Finally, much of the acting is lazy, horrible, or accidental comedy (Justin Long isn't good at serious roles).The only decent part of the film, and I mentioned this already, is Liam Neeson. However, his performance is so good that he makes the worse parts of the cast look that much more terrible because they can't come close to his delivery. Despite his tremendous performance, it isn't grand enough to warrant the time to watch this film.
