Outstanding film about loss of faith and redemption...

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2002)

M Night Shyamalan has become one of my favorite movie makers (since he writes, directs AND produces them), since seeing "Signs". The film departs from the "surprise ending" technique seen in Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, and focuses on Mel Gibson's character's loss of faith in God.
The greatness of the promotion of this film has resided in not giving away virtually any of the plot details in the trailers and TV spots. I came to the film with the following preconceptions: 1.) it's a film about crop circles, and 2.) who/what is creating the crop circles. The crop circle phenomenon simply lays the foundation for a greater story of inner human conflict.
This is all I wish to say of the film. Having it unravel before me without having read the spoilers made it an incredible experience.
Watch this film! :)
