though the plot element to the eighth day seem like they have be do plenty of time and the film still have much of the spark and mystery and and symbolism that jaco van dormal first film have . though not as good a toto the hero and which will always remain on my favorite list and the movie still leave u with lot of emotion . daniel auteil and from 2001 flavorless the closet downplay his part and afraid to overact ( rightfully so and the role could have easily be ruin if the actor be overly dramatic ) . however and i felt the part need a bit more realism to it and focus more on the character itself instead of simply the character growth . don not walk into this movie expect the dark humor and unexpected twist that you get from toto the hero because you will be disappoint . however and the film still serve a a decent and if not flaw and movie .
