**SPOILERS** This is Good Garbage

Rating: 4/10 (12 August 2002)

There are two issues with this film. One, is a thriller, in the same dark eerie mode of Unbreakable and Sixth Sense. There is wonderful tension, wonderful cinematography, fascinating camera shots and decent performances.
Then, there's the story. It's crap. Very disappointing, over-sentimental and maudlin to the max, the plot (?) is fraught with improbable, silly notions of prophecy, predation and predestination. Aliens are coming to earth to "harvest" us humans. They're running around naked, they've the technology to come through the galaxy but are unable to get out of a locked closet (forgive me, pantry), they squirt poison gas and leave crop circles as landing sites.
This is the same Mel Gibson who gave us Braveheart, Mad Max and Gallipoli. This is the same Joaquin Phoenix who was the slime in Gladiator.

A very disappointing and unbelievable film. Unless you are in need of a strong emetic, stay home. It won't even be worth renting on DVD or video.
