Another disappointment from M. Night Shyamalan

Rating: 1/10 (22 April 2017)

I wasted two hours of my life on this movie. I was bored after the first hour, not to mention disappointed by the stigma mental illness received once again. Spoiler Alert: I thought it was irresponsible of the director/writer to have the main character make a statement about "broken people are more pure" after he notices cutting marks on one of his captives. With an epidemic of cutting by teenagers in our society, this remark was to say the least, troubling. As a therapist, I was appalled by Betty Buckley's character visiting her client at his home and then making the statement that "her patients were her family". If you're going to portray a therapist in a movie, that profession's code of conduct needs to be represented correctly. Parts of this movie were so unrealistic that I was unable to focus on the rest of the film. Another disappointment by M. Night Shyamalan.
