Dead Again (1991) has the feel of a Hitchcockian thriller and its supernatural-tinged romance more than echoes the master's own Vertigo. However, there's something about it that is just lacking. The acting is well done, though it does take a while to get used to Branagh's phony American accent (he sounds a lot like Raphael on the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon). The music is lovely and the other technical aspects are fine.
It's the story itself. There are so many twists, which make DA ideal for the first viewing, but not so ideal for re-visitation. The character the private eye and his lady love wasn't captivating enough to keep one 100% invested.
Good for one watch, but like a roller coaster ride, once is enough for this lifetime or the next.
