Chronicle Special Dex Cornell is dying. But that‘s okay. His creativity died four years ago. He could have been a world class writer but he threw it all away, and settled for college English professor status. Cornell‘s also about to become another divorce statistic, accordâ€" ing to disillusioned spouse Gail. She thinks he also threw in the honeymoon when her hubby‘s creative ink well ran dry. So Dex Cornell is not a happy man. The last thing he needs is glorious radium chloride poisonâ€" ing streaming through his veins. But there‘s nothing like a 48â€"hour death sentence to put a little passion into your life. D.O.A., now at Cineplex, stars Dennis Quaid (The Big Easy, Suspect) as a desperate man who plays both victim and amateur sleuth to track down his killer through a bizarre maze of murâ€" der, jealousy and shattered dreams. Directed by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, D.0O.A. is a gripping remake of the 1949 murder _ mystery _ conundrum which starred Edmond O‘Brien.

D.O.A. is "20 minutes into the future, and 20 minutes into the past" with a spectacular array of visual effects from rich black and cally done.
