My opinion
Roy Pulsipher: I'm what they used to call a lawman. Marshall Roysephus Pulsipher.
Nick: Roysephus?
Roy Pulsipher: It was considered a very sexy name at the time.
Nick: Sounds like an STD The only thing I can say about this movie is that this is a lesssuccessfulcopy of"Men In Black" with a touch of "Ghostbusters" (also aport which is openedup)andas theatricalas "Ghost".The widow has a feeling that the old Chinese could bethe reincarnation of Nick, whowants to contact her .... yep ... sigh.
There are a fewcomicalactionmoments withthe non-living who, by the way, all look likeMr. Hydeout of the VanHelsing movie. Besides that it's hard to find another funny moment. The quote stated in the beginning was the only thing thatmade me smile. It feelsall the timeasadreadful comedy-show with forcedjokesand supported by alaugh trackto lift it to ahigher level. Jeff Bridgesstarted to get on my nerves after awhile with hisunintelligibledrivel.It seemedlike hewas constantlychewingsomething.
However, the matter about their identity andthe wayan ordinary mortalsaw them, was quite original. The combination of thesetwosometimes gave itacomic effect. Onlythey could have usedthisaspect a bit more.
Zero content, the denouementwas rathersimplistic(so much effort to collectall that gold and this is neutralized in amicro-second) and I constantly had this feeling I would fall asleep during the movie. Afterwards I realized that watching at the wall would beas exciting....
