I think I hear a fog horn; Boooooooooooring

Rating: 1/10 (26 August 2002)

******SPOILERS FOLLOW******

Homer Simpson would sum up this waste of time in one word; "Boooooooooooring" This has to be the most over-hyped film of all time. I would have fallen asleep during this movie, but everyone else snoring kept me awake. This movie was flawed from beginning to end. The only redeeming value may be the soundtrack by James Newton Howard. I would have demanded a refund, but there were too many people in line in front of me to get theirs. 20 minutes of screen time could have been saved if M. Knight Shymalan's cameo had been left on the cutting room floor. His character was pointless. It made no difference who killed Father Hess' wife, only that she was killed. And wassup with this long scene about baseball in the Army recruiter's office? Don't get me started about the "throw-up-in-the-mouth" speech. If you have a choice between being horse-whipped and watching this flick, take the horse-whipping. All you insomniacs will never have to find sleep in a bottle of pills again. Rent this movie, watch 5 minutes, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Zero stars
