Product Description
Product Description
Young couple Paul (Justin Long) and Anna (Christina Ricci) are toying with the prospect of marriage when they have a chance encounter with Eliot (Liam Neeson), a mysterious undertaker who claims he can speak with the dead. When Anna becomes caught in the otherworldly realm between life and death, she risks being buried alive. Will Eliot help her, or is he being driven by darker motivations?
Amazon.com
Quite a few folks in the movies have seen dead people, especially since The Sixth Sense, but After.Life gives this by-now-familiar conceit an intriguing spin. As director-cowriter Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo's 2009 film would have it, the deceased aren't exactly dead. At least not yet; in the days between whatever killed them and the moment they're put in a box and lowered six feet under, they're caught in some kind of purgatory, no longer alive but still able to move and communicate. Not to everyone, of course; only Eliot Deacon (Liam Neeson) has the ability, be it a gift or a curse, to converse with these infernal travelers as he readies them for their final rest in the basement of his funeral home. That's where he meets Anna Taylor (Christina Ricci), who died in a car crash following a nasty argument with her boyfriend, Paul (Justin Long). Anna, not surprisingly, is in denial. How can she be dead, when she can still walk, talk, and experience emotions? Well, it's complicated, but Eliot's there to help her sort it all out--that is, unless he's up to something considerably more sinister, a question that remains in doubt even at the very end. After.Life has a cool concept, a good look, an ominous vibe (driven by former Tangerine Dream member Paul Haslinger's relentlessly spacy, downbeat musical score), and some fine performances. But movies like this depend on the rules and boundaries the filmmakers establish. In The Sixth Sense, those rules ("dead people don't know they're dead," etc.) are simple and consistent. Here they're a bit more confusing. How can the deceased wield a knife, open a locked door, or even make a phone call? If Anna is dead, why can she still see her breath on a windowpane? The willingness to accept such things may well affect one's appreciation of this very absorbing film. --Sam Graham

First of all this movie is NOT a documentary, if you wanted to see how real dead bodies are examined then watch Dr.G THIS is not your movie. I am extremely sorry that you can't take something for what it is.
Second is the plot holes, yes chances are that the body would go through WAY more examination to get to a mortuary table than just a few coroners and a quick medical examination but to be fair we are told that this is a small town and we are also made aware that Liam Niesson's character is fairly well liked and respected in the town. So would it really be out of the realm of possibility for him to have connections within the coroners office and or from medical examiners on the scene? What is the motivation? well it could be anything. I hope people do know that Morticians make quite a deal of money for what they do. Is it out of the realm of possibility to say that he could be bribing the medical examiner and coroner just so he could get his very sick jollies? I don't think so. Yeah the twist really wasn't all that well veiled but then again it wasn't all that poorly done either.
I won't bore you with too much detail and give away too much but overall I would have to say that this is a refreshing look at the horror genre that has been on the slab for years. It's definitely not perfect but it's something new and different for a dying genre. If you can put yourself in the position of the character it is a very suspenseful movie with a lot of great imagery. My gripe is that it is extremely long and I thought it would have been better had it been shorter which may not have given the story AS much development but probably would have been better for those with short attention spans that need to watch things explode every 5 minutes. It does get a little muddled but I can say this film has a lot of character and redeemable qualities.

A very good movie starring Liam Nielson.
