Dead Again (1991) - 3/5

This movie is a time-bending psychological thriller that plays out more like modern Shakespeare than any of its contemporaries. It blends mystery, romance, and thriller in a nice overall package, but is too strange to have the staying power it could have. The film goes in more for character drama than rational explanation by the end, which is fun but nothing more.

Closest comparison: It’s like Wuthering Heights by way of Wolf (1994).

Setting: Drama
Plot: Sci-Fi
Tone: Mystery
