Susan is not sure what is happening, but when Joe goes to her, we see that the young of the coffee shop is back. Joe ended up taking the lives of Bill, but also gave new life to the body of the young man took in the beginning of the film. To show that is reasonable and actually has a good heart, Joe feels that taking Susan happy for the rest of his life would be a fair free to take the life of Bill. The film ends with Susan and the man in the cafeteria walking hand in hand toward the pop of fireworks that are drastically over the Parrish property.

The plot of this movie is incredibly deep and interesting. The idea that "death" comes to Earth to experience life in the body of a young man is truly unique. Martin Brest does a fantastic job directing this high budget film with a cast of stars. The film will make you laugh with innocent antics of Joe, mourn the end, when everyone must say goodbye as Bill goes to his death, and even angry at Drew for trying to destroy Bill corporation one billion dollars. This movement is a must, and because of the complexity of history and emotional story, is rated a 5 on 5.
