I can't help but be such a big fan of M. Night Shyamalan for his early works. There's absolutely no doubt that he's a talented filmmaker, and even during his set backs, I still pay tribute to those first few films. With that said, "SPLIT" is a welcome return for his talent as a storyteller. The success of this film is found in Shyamalan rediscovering the roots that put him on the map. A lot of trust is given to James McAvoy as the lead, and he carries the film on his shoulders in an incredibly difficult role. Tension, humor, and shock are woven within this intriguing thriller. I'm still rooting for your epic comeback, M. Night. For now, this will do just fine. #split
