Death Becomes Her (1992)

Never less than entertaining.

The first half is so jam-packed full of back-story, exposition and breakneck narrative developments that, although Zemeckis does his best to layer in as many jokes and clever flourishes as possible, it's all rather breathless.

The second half, where (oh ho) only the characters are breakneck and breathless, gives the sharp dialogue, fantastic performances, and inventive effects and direction room to breathe.
Rating: Good
