This does for mental health what Jaws did for sharks...

Rating: 1/10 (28 January 2019)

Ok, as acting goes, McAvoy is good and has transformed the personalities well.
But my issue with the film is the plot itself, it's basically undone all of the important work mental health awareness has achieved over the past few decades.
As an example before Jaws everyone knew about sharks and sure there was a risk, but after Jaws everyone feared sharks, feared swimming, to the point they actively went out and attacked and killed them. Anyone who knows about sharks will understand that like all wild animals they have boundaries. But the film changed the perception, that sharks were only after human blood and were evil. A myth that marine experts are still trying to come to terms with and battle today.
This film seems to have the same effect with people who suffer from mental health. It has put up a fearful boundary that anyone with a disorder is now likely to be a homicidal killer. I hope most people can see beyond this.
My biggest disappointment was to find that in the last 5 seconds of the movie, this film is directly linked to Unbreakable. It's just Shyamalan having to come up with a twist for twists sake. Well at least he can now cash in with a McAvoy, Willis, Jackson blockbuster...
