More than just an alien thriller.

Rating: 7/10 (14 January 2003)

M. Night Shyamalan's alien thriller is great on many levels. The acting is great, the story is great, and the directing is great. It is a suspense thriller and rightly so. You are on the edge of you seat the entire time. You are wondering what's happened in Graham Hess'(Mel Gibson) past, and what the future holds for him. It is a bit creepy, but it is more than that. It is about one man's struggle to refind religion. He struggles with the loss of his wife and the events of today. He wonders why he is being put through all of this horror both past and present, but he finds that it was meant to be. That there is some greater purpose at work here than what we see. A+
