Released this week on DVD
Hereafter is a Clint Eastwood directed movie starring Matt Damon. Matt Damon, much to my surprise, had a smaller role than usual. Damon plays George, a dock worker, who had a gift of speaking to a client's deceased loved one. George had been successful but gave up his business as it took an huge emotional toll. His life intersects with Marie, a news reporter, who barely survives the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. George also encounters Marcus, a London boy who has lost his twin brother in a car accident. The supporting actors were excellent. Damon is one of my favorite actors but I didn't really care for him in this movie. The opening scene of the tsunami was incredible especially on the big screen. It was truly riveting. I also liked the scenes when Marcus is going from one clairvoyant to another trying to get into touch with his twin. Eastwood showed the audience how many different types of charlatans there are in this field. I'm glad I saw it but wasn't particularly thrilled with the movie. It is worth a rental.
