this was bad even before I realized it was an M. Night Shyamalan film

Rating: 4/10 (19 November 2008)

Let me start by stating I am an M. Night Shyamalan fan but haven't been keeping up with his film status. I didn't know he was part of the film until I got to the credits rolling ... and ohh god did that disappoint me.
I wondered about 25 minutes into this film why it had such a desperate cry to establish a hallmark. That moment never came for this film, and after 25 minutes, it started to come up with any trick it could to make up to the short coming.
As I stated, I am a Shyamalan fan, but even before I knew he had anything to do with this movie I was confused. Since it tried so hard, so many times, to give an edge, it just makes you shake your head and wish it was a bad movie.
