Couldn't Someone Take Away That Mike, please?

Rating: 10/10 (20 September 2002)

First of all, I have to say, This one is a really scary movie with an excellent Mel Gibson. Hadn't it been for him (or M. Night) this could have been a lot of crap. The story is interesting, the visual style brilliant, if there were not...well... The mike has been dangling all through the whole picture. It just destroyed the whole scenery. Perhaps, it will win the Oscar for the "Best Supporting Actor". But regardless to this really BIG goof (Am I the only one noticing that?), I can only recommend this film to all of those out there who like their X-Files-style-pics with a litte bit "drama". What annoyed me a bit was the religious aspect. It is obvious from the first ten minutes on, that Mel will find his believe and will be priest again. Isn't it? Nevertheless, 8 out of 10, I hope this one will stay in the Top 250 for a long time (My favourite of M. Night)
