Title: an outstanding suspense flick
Review: Kenneth Brannagh proves in Dead Again that he can bring outstanding dramatic performances to movies other than Shakespearean works. He and then-wife Emma Thompson play strangers who meet who may have met in a previous life (the concept of reincarnation plays heavily on the plot.) Black and white and color filming alternate cleverly as the setting flip-flops from the 90s to the 50s. Andy Garcia also does a fine job in the movie. Look for Robin Williams to give a stellar bit performance. Telling much more about the movie would give it away to those who have not seen it, but what's important is that Brannagh and Thompson are both unknowingly involved in a 40 year old murder case and the movie has a very surprise ending. In fact even though the term "Hitcockian" has been widely overused (to the point of running it into the ground) the ending to this movie actually deserves that title. An absolute stellar movie on all accounts.
