one of the years best

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 2002)

This movie will make you leave the theater thinking that an alien invasion is not so impossible. The news broadcasts in the movie make you feel like you're right there in the Hess family den looking at evidence of something you never thought was possible. The acting on the part of Gibson, Phoenix, and the kids is wonderful, and even Shyamalan himself proves himself a worthy actor with his small part as a neighbor.
This movie in every way lives up to the high standards Shyamalan set for himself with "The Sixth Sense." I can't wait to see his future films.
