Of course, it doesn't take long before the Grim Reaper experiences genuine human emotion when he falls for Hopkins' daughter (Claire Forlani), all the while preparing to take the businessman into the beyond. In the film, Brad Pitt (doing Brad Pitt) appears as Death incarnate, on Earth for a sightseeing tour with Hopkins' ailing tycoon as a guide. This is especially frustrating because fleeting moments and individual performances (predictably Anthony Hopkins) are very moving, but are hamstrung by the leaden pacing. Quite likely the record holder for those who attend a film just to see a trailer beforehand (in this case The Phantom Menace teaser), Martin Brest's overlong remake of Death Takes a Holiday suffers under its own self-importance.
