Product Description
A grieving doctor is being contacted by his late wife through his patients near death expereinces.
Amazon.com
"Belief gets us there," explains nun Linda Hunt to grieving widower Kevin Costner, an emergency room doctor whose ordered world is startled by "messages" from his dead wife. She's talking about the journey from life to death, but it describes the doctor's road from fact to faith equally well as he puzzles out the otherworldly events of his life. Costner's mourning comes off less lost and sad than simply emotionless and inert, but he finds good support from Kathy Bates as his sassy neighbor. Her appearances, along with a few startling horror-movie-type shocks, energize a film otherwise shrouded in loss, grief, and the hushed mood of supernatural spookiness. It's like a fusing of Ghost, The Sixth Sense, and The Mothman Prophecies, a New Age melodrama in a sentimental key that works through a rather contrived mystic mystery to a glowing climax. This is less a ghost story than a modern twist on the old-fashioned miracle. --Sean Axmaker

The movie was what I had expected and it was enjoyed by both myself and my wife. I had not seen this movie advertised in the movie theaters but spotted it on one of the cable channels. Therefore after watching it on the cable channel with commercial interruptions I decided to purchase it. I then found it on Amazon and ordered it. I'm glad I did. It is now in my movie collection.

This has been one of my favorite shows for quite some time. It seems to hit all the points on life, death and everything in between. At times it gets a little cheesy, but you expect that in a Kevin Costner movie. It's truly a good suspense movie if you want to go on the edge of your seat for a little while. Definitely worth watching if you don't like horror movies but you like a little suspense.
 Enjoyable sleeper February 23, 2009
wiredweird (Earth, or somewhere nearby)
Despite the material's potential, this gets off to a snoozable start. Kevin Costner appears a Joe Darrow, a recently widowed doctor. Probably widowed, because his wife's body was never found after a tragic end to her third-world relief mission.
But is she really gone? As a doctor, Joe comes in contact with many patients who are or once were close to death - whatever 'death' means. When they come back, they bring a message from her to Joe, and the urgency of that message seems to ratchet up day by day. It sends Joe on a mission of his own, deep into the jungle to the place where she died ...
Saying more would say too much, but the last third of the movie makes it worthwhile. Not just the action but the personal drama reach levels that the movie's first big part never hinted at. If you can get past the early part, the movie's powerful ending makes up for the wait.

I love this movie..there is a twist at the end that you don't see coming that is a real zinger. It can be watched over and over and the scenery and story are outstanding
