I really wanted to like it

Rating: 6/10 (4 August 2002)

The best way to describe this movie is comparing it to a huge tease. From beginning to......well.....the last ten minutes I was on the edge of my seat expecting to receive some kind of satisfaction in the end. Without giving any spoilers away....lets just say you don't get that special reward at the end. The movie is intriguing and suspenseful almost through its entirety, but the missing piece at the end destroys what could have been a great film. What happened to the creative spin Shyamalan put on his last two movies? It's almost as if he had to come up with an ending in five minutes or he wouldn't meet deadline. Who cares about one man's fate, what happened to the world and why?
