Not quite what I was expecting

Rating: 7/10 (7 August 2002)

The hype and the trailers seemed to hint at something more than what the movie actually offered. Gibson and Phoenix did a great job, as did the children. I wasn't satisfied with the story. I was expecting something along the lines of "interpret the signs, it's a code, here are answers to your biggest questions about life and the universe."
The acting was great, the whole emotional thing going on in the family really added a lot to the story. Great acting and suspense, but in general I was disappointed with the story.
