Great movie!

Rating: Null/10 (29 July 2003)

"Signs" is M. Night Shyamalan's most entertaining movie yet. It stars Mel Gibson (apparently Bruce Willis wasn't available) as an ex-revrend/farmer who is finding strange patterns mowed into his lawn. At first he thinks it's a prank, but they start appearing all over the world and soon he believes he and his family are in the middle of an alien invasion.
Gibson plays his part very well, ranking up with "Braveheart" and "Conspiracy Theory" for great Gibson performances. Jaquin Phoenix plays Gibson's brother, and though his performance would be more comedic than dramatic, it was still very good. Rory Culkin and Abigail Breslin play Gibson's kids, pretty well for a fourteen and eight year old.
"Signs", being a Shyamalan movie, was also very suspenseful. Especially the climax, in which the family is trapped inside their basement - and, well, I wont spoil anything else.
Good sci-fi, great movie, 8/10.
