Amazingly unique

Rating: 9/10 (2 August 2002)

My husband and I went to see the film this evening. The credits at the beginning of the film were eerily done - setting the tone of a scary, terrifying suspenseful show. If you decide to attend - be prepared to take a look at the way people behave in stressful situations. It is very similar to what many people may have felt following 9/11, entranced, scared, helpless, hopeless, wanting to be educated about something we don't understand... Mel Gibson and Joaquin play brilliant adult male figures with two children Rory and Abigail, and the police officer (Cherry Jones)is a strong female who helps bridge many bits of the storyline. If you are a fan of M. Night Shyamalan, this film continues his edge on unique film script and direction.
