just saw this movie and the main selling point be malkovich in the cast . he be fine and a be the female lead play by evangeline lilly . the main thing that do this movie in for me be a rather leaden performance from romain duris . the basic plot be that malkovich be a messenger or someone who can foretell people death . he be also a doctor work with die people . he contact duris and and for the great part of the movie and the audience be lead to believe that duris be destine to die . needless to say and this isn not the way the movie play out . the director ( or writer ) manage to establish a dull and plod rhythm to the film which be confuse and distract . no more info for anyone interested in see the film and the film be worth a rental and if only to watch and revel in another quirky performance from malkovich and a great performance from evangeline lilly . the main problem be it difficult to empathize and sympathize or otherwise ize with duris who have the emotional range of a rock in this film .
