Best Shyamalan's movie since Unbreakable. Totally underrated.

Rating: 8/10 (13 July 2008)

This film is Shyamalan's rebirth for me as film creator. I'm big fan of his movies, and tried not to see the decline of his recent works - 6th Sense and Unbreakable was masterpieces, Signs and The Village - had great ideas and suspense but was just good overall, while Lady in the Water had great atmosphere but lacked something. And then - The Happening...
I was watching this - after I already knew 5,4 rating - and honestly was expecting a disaster. But... this movie hold me in the edge of chair from the beginning till the end, and I just was wondering - "hey, when this 'collapse' will start? Which moment will be error or false?" And then - while the final scene in Philadelphia, I said to my friend - "body, - if this movie ends here - it's nearly perfect..." And it was... I can't understand reaction of people.
Bad acting? No, Wahlberg was great, and support - too. Directing? and script? If you prefer CGI of Emmerich's movies, or actions of Bay - hm... maybe it's not yours, but otherwise - just watch it, and try not to digress, not listen to other "laughing from the beginning to the end" - and you will be paid in full.
Vow. Best Night's film since Unbreakable.
