Got Human?

Rating: 8/10 (12 April 2003)

Night has made another really good movie.
Without a recap of the plot, I had a hard time trying to categorize this movie, which is a good thing. It isn't quite drama, science fiction, action, comedy, or suspense. It takes elements of all of these and turns out a well thought out, entertaining movie. Fans of Night's work, (Unbreakable, The Sixth Sense), will really like Signs.

Mel Gibson, in my opinion really stretches as an actor, and is supported by a good cast. And although you never really leave Mel's world, you get a sense of a larger world view with the story. It is also the first movie to deal with Crop Circles, which is a very compelling subject. Additionally, I truly admired the way "faith" was tackled in this film. Though provoking and entertaining.
