Review: prescribed than recommended -- as visually bland as a dentist 's waiting room , complete with soothing muzak and a cushion of predictable narrative rhythms 
Sentiment: negative

Review: proves that director m. night shyamalan can weave an eerie spell and that mel gibson can gasp , shudder and even tremble without losing his machismo . 
Sentiment: positive

Review: kapur fails to give his audience a single character worth rooting for ( or worth rooting against , for that matter ) . 
Sentiment: negative

Review: all mixed up together like a term paper from a kid who ca n't quite distinguish one sci-fi work from another 
Sentiment: negative


Review: all starts to smack of a hallmark hall of fame , with a few four letter words thrown in that are generally not heard on television .
