One is never quite sure what the outcome of this afterlife court will be. Will it be Heaven or Hell? There are comedic moments mostly provided by Phil the choreographer. But be under no illusion this is a high-stakes game. The prosecutor is sure of winning the case (for Hell) and it would seem the rookie council for the defence has a weak case to save her client. One of the questions was 'why' was the hearing taking place at all. Was there something about the client that merited his redemption. In the end there was a twist to the tale which I found a little underwhelming (I knocked off a star for that) but it was a captivating journey.
Played with a top-notch cast. Among them is Character actor Richard Reihle who plays Phil and A-list star James Purefoy (well known in the UK at least) who turns up in the later part of the film.
