Death is funny now days...

Frank is a «Psychic investigator» or as I like to call him, a con artist.

He fools people who recently has lost someone close for a living. It isn't going to well. Actually nothing is going well for Frank. Buisness is going to hell (which someone else in the movie actually will too), he fells in love with this girl he has scammed when he meets her a second time to find out she is going to die. And his co-cons are «getting to old for this shit», and he faces the man in the cape, chases him and tries to stop him from killing people, which ends up in people thinking he killed them. And as if that is not enough, his co-workers are poltergeists!

The idea that is Franks job situation and the rest of his situation is brilliant!

And Frank himself «grows» throughout the film. He changes from a person who thinks of money in front of everything else, and whose only feeling is anger and misery, into a loving, caring person who would take a bullet for other people (actually he does, sort of).

I liked all of the characters, but especially the poltergeists Frank worked with, cause of their totally different personalities, language, opinions and cultural heritage.

And I liked the federal agent, Cause of his manias and clothing. It gave him a «bad guy-look». Not that that is weird, as alike Adolf as he is.

And the nutjob with my name, Johnny (I write it without the H duh) well, I like him for being the nutty maniac he is. And how good he is to count, wow!

And the sheriff character because he fit the general image of the typical sheriff.

And I liked the other characters as well of course, I liked them all, at least the ones I can remember, but the ones I remember I can be sure was good, because they were rememberable. The characters were amazing. They just were.

The destination of the story was good to. The atmosphere in that little town were perfect! The concept of a little town where everybody knows everybody and where nothing ever happens is genius itself. The nature and the diferent landscapes were very good.

And the storyline is genius! I will not tell you anything (more) that happened, therefore I skip telling about the great storyline. The excitement curve rises exactly the tempo it is supposed to (according to me anyways). The mystery survives to the very end. They drop off hints along the road every now and then. The action- and the comedybar is both high. As high as they can be without pushing the other one down. It is the perfect mix of everything!

And on top of it all, the effects and the music were great too! (I mean, the effects probable could have been better, but they were so good that I didn't notice how bad they were...Or something like that)

If I were to rate this film with ten as maximum score I would probable give it 6-7.
