Somewhat Entertaining

Rating: 4/10 (8 July 2008)

The happening wasn't a bad movie, it just wasn't all that good. The movie starts out with so much promise, as the opening scene is probably one of the best I have ever seen. It really draws you in and makes you want to see more. The problem is there really is no more. The acting in this movie is great. John Leguizamo plays a short, but good part in the movie. Mark Wahlberg again shows he can sell any role he plays. The storyline as a whole was a pretty good concept, but as M Knight always does, he never really gives closer, and I think thats why I rated this movie only a 4. I don't like when I finish watching a movie I have no idea what happened. For me I thought it was just OK. I don't think I would recommend this movie but I wouldn't try to talk someone out of it who said they were going to watch it.
