This movie, After.Life (not a typo, it's the way it is spelt), has all the hallmarks of bad hokum. Apparently Liam is a mortician that deals with Christina Ricci. He is either crazy, talking to a dead person - or crazy, keeping a live person locked up in the morgue while he buys gasoline.
.
Either way, it is creepy-in-a-ruining-your-career kind of way, not crazy in an art-house-thriller kind of way.
And what was just before After.Life. "Release the Kragen!". Just because Sir Larry Olivier could pull off Zeus in an over the top, camp way doesn't mean you can.

First, Larry was OLD. We gave him benefit of the doubt. Maybe he was make a nest egg to give to the relatives. You, on the other hand, are really trying to bring gravitas to a cartoon role. Take a clue from Ralph Finnes and chew the scenery. We KNOW Ralph is just in for a lark.
.
Speaking of Ralph (brother of Joesph So-Finnes), take a leaf from his book and mix in some good movies (like "The Reader") with the duds. You know what you mixed in... Voice overs for "The Lion The Witch and Wardrobe" and "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea".
Oh yes. This is where it all started Obi Wan... The hair, the stupid prequel. Man I hope you made a lot of money here, because this sucks.
.
Even Micheal Caine knows the difference between a payday (Bewitched), a fun stupid movie (Miss Congeniality) and a small good movie (The Quiet American). See!!!! Mix it up a little.
