In my opinion..

Rating: 2/10 (25 June 2008)

I watched this movie after being excited for it since I saw the first trailer. Unfortunately, it was completely terrible! When I say terrible I am over stating how I feel, but rather summing up my overall view of the movie.
The acting was terrible. In fact, I believe it was one of the worst acted films I have ever seen while under a dramatic/suspense category. Mark Walberg is usually good, but it was like watching him in The Big Hit. He talks like a puss and is put out as the strong willed protagonist. He didn't feel strong, smart, or interesting.
Supporting actors were about just as bad.
And I never felt as if the people in the movie were ever truly scared or troubled about what was happening.
NOW THE STORY.......
The story was very good at first......but it seems to me that M. Night came up with the idea and didn't know how to completely unroll it into a movie. It felt very draggy and repetitive. As if they looped the same scene throughout the entire middle then ended it......terribly.
OVERALL.....
This movie does not come with my recommendation, and you can say he just doesn't like M. Night, but really this movie was just not done well, but could have been.
It was like watching a baby chick hatch, cracking little pieces of the shell, but then die before getting out.
OOOOH, Almost, but not quite....
