A tribute.

Rating: Null/10 (24 August 2002)

'Signs' is a tribute to Steven Spielberg's 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'. What we don't see is more interesting than what we do. A man with a family he is afraid of losing and the unexplainable concept of why 'THEY' are here. M. Night Shyamalan does a good job of building the tension to a finale that doesn't end like his other films where there is a huge twist but rather the ending of this film is one that seems right and makes one feel tranquil. Mel Gibson does some very fine work here and for a guy who has outperformed Harrison Ford in terms of quality films in the last ten years, he seems poised to carry the torch for his generation along with Tom Hanks.
