What more can you ask?

Rating: Null/10 (13 September 2002)

You can tell just by watching this film that Shyamalan is trying hard to take on board and address the criticisms he recieved for Unbreakable. This film is more breathless, less thoughtful than his last. On the other hand, of course, it's faster and funnier. Whether the trade off was worth it or not is a matter of taste. I felt that some of the time Shyamalan's naturally ponderous, thoughtful style clashed a little with the more adrenalised sections of the film, but not intrusively so. I still enjoyed it. It's not as perfect as his last two features, but it's still a damn fine film. Roll on the next.
