no sixth sense

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2017)

I saw "split" on sat. morning in nyc. clearly the crowd was there to see the movie, not kill time until later. the place was packed. buzz has been keen. if you saw the trailer, you know the set up. if you didn't, I won't spoil it. anyway james mc avoy is suffering from split personalities: men, women and children. perhaps, more. some of them are in therapy. one of them kidnaps three nublle girls and we wait for bad things to happen. I am such a fan of "sixth sense", that it's been down hill since then for m. night shyamalan, although I did like "unbreakable". I can't say "split" is all that good, even though reviews have been kind. the movie, as expected goes down several different paths, but really doesn't make sense. I must tell you that the audience applauded at the end. and no one checked their electronic device. not once.
