British thespian and sophomore director Kenneth Branagh follows up his adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry V with this abrupt change of pace, a slick, stylish thriller evocative of Hitchcock, classic film noir, and gothic shockers. Sporting an exaggerated American accent, Branagh stars as L.A. private eye Mike Church, a hard-boiled but softhearted detective who takes on the case of a mysterious amnesiac (Branagh's then-real-life wife, Emma Thompson). With the help of an offbeat furniture dealer and part-time hypnotist (Derek Jacobi), Grace (as Mike has named her) dredges up her hidden memories. Little do they realize that her recollections are of a past life in L.A.'s recent history, and as she recounts the details of a famous marriage that ended with a notorious murder (played out as black-and-white flashbacks starring Branagh and Thompson), events of the present begin to mirror the past, as if fate were pulling the two into fatal replay of history. Branagh's flashy, flourished direction echoes with an array of '40s and '50s classics and near classics (most notably Hitchcock's Rebecca and Spellbound) and drives the story with an edgy urgency, all the better to distract from some of the sillier elements of the plot. But while this film may not make literal sense in the harsh light of day, in the twilit, shadowy world of classic Hollywood this slyly inventive thriller is a bravura bit of old-fashioned entertainment, done up with modern flair. --Sean Axmaker

Kenneth Branagh's film Dead Again is a superbly crafted thriller that cleverly combines film noir, supernatural suspense, melodrama, and romance. Branagh (Henry V) pulls double duty, both directing and starring in this stylish update of the mystery genre. The film stars Branagh and his wife Emma Thompson in dual-roles, as well as featuring an impressive supporting cast including Andy Garcia, Derek Jacobi, Hanna Schygulla, Wayne Knight, and Robin Williams.
The film utilizes all of the trappings ... Read More

I had never heard of this movie until last week. I love it! It is now one of my favorite movies. I will definitely watch it again. Kenneth is great. My husband is a fan of his, but not of love stories. My husband thinks his performance is excellent! I am a big fan of Emma Thompson and she is great as usual. If you like suspense mixed with love, this is for you. If you like Gaslight with Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman, then you will like Dead Again.

Accomplished British actors Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson (his wife at the time this film was made), the always fascinating Derek Jacobi, and in supporting roles, Andy Garcia, German actress Hanna Schygulla, and Robin Williams, round out a stellar cast that, by itself, would make this film worth your time. They give this intriguing story of the turn of karmic wheels energy and charm. I must say that I find the review featured on Amazon by "The New Yorker" to be incomprehensible and so wide of the ...

I am a huge fan of anything by Kenneth Branagh (another good one to see is: 'How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog')so when I saw this movie, I of course gave it a shot. This movie has a great twist and is beautifully acted. Both Emma & Kenneth do a wonderful job of American accents. If you like the mystery genre this is one you must see!

I'm somewhat of a Branagh and Thompson fan but I'm surprised anyone could possibly enjoy this silly film. I don't know whatever came over Branagh and Thompson to partake. Jacobi, as a dodgy antique dealer who hypnotizes people was bad enough but, when he took his subjects into past lives to find their antiques, it just got ridiculous.
Very little that the main actors did was convincing and much of it was irrelevant and confusing to the plot. The switching of accents was as farcical as it ... Read More
