Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

phoenixmichaels The very best film/play I have seen since "12 Angry men". Have lofty ideas about the nature of existence, and how we should feel about it? Watch this.

serkesche This for me best movie of all times... This for me best movie of all times.. This for me best movie of all times.... This for me best movie of all times......

SnoopyStyle A professor (Tommy Lee Jones) tries to commit suicide by jumping in front of a train, "The Sunset Limited". Another man (Samuel L. Jackson) claims to be his guardian angel. The two men debate their beliefs in the professor's apartment. The professor insists on leaving the apartment and probably go to commit suicide. The other insists on following him and convince him to embrace God.It's a two person play in a confined space. These are two great actors. The debate is constant and unabated. It feels more academic than personal. These characters are not necessarily flesh and blood. The writing is not natural enough and always feels like a play. It has the power of sincerity but lacks the feel of reality. This has the potential of a reveal but the play doesn't take advantage. This is an academic play but it doesn't actually breathe.

earl-bosch Seems atheist hates the movie and believers don't, yet the movie does not choose either side. It tries to show both as hopeless cases of being converted to the other. Yet in the end, if you take the sum of their lives, who's live would you choose: The easy, rich, intellectual who only looks after himself and has no reason to live. Or the very dramatic, traumatic, poor person who spends all his time looking after other totally useless people, but enjoys every moment of being alive. From that point of view its easy to understand why atheist would hate this movie. But if an atheist ever wants to know why he can't convince a true believer, he should watch this movie.
