Moreover, she manages to flirt her way into a full-fledged romance, one consummated by a sex scene so uncomfortable that it's more nauseating than erotic...

His face remains blank for nearly three hours, occasionally flashing the famous smile. "You wanna know what I'm thinking?" he seems to be asking with his random pauses and interminable stares into the camera. The problem is, of course, that Pitt really isn't thinking. Death, as a character, is incomprehensible and thus unengaging...
