Ummmmmmm......Huh? Awful

Rating: 3/10 (14 June 2008)

It's official. I am kicking the habit of going into an M. Night Shyamalan film expecting it to be good. This movies stared out with such good promise and the visuals of people randomly and suddenly killing themselves was eerie and compelling. But then we have to suffer through poorly conceived (and poorly acted) characters and the most ridiculous and almost laughable plot (killer trees/wind/environment). The idea of outrunning the wind! OMG. Did Paul Verhoven direct this? Lol. The audience in my theater was laughing at times (in all the wrong places). It treads dangerously on SHOWGIRLS type camp at times. Not good at all, except for the beginning. I like Mark Wahlberg but he was so flat in this movie. Stay away from this and wait to watch it on demand (should be available on home video real fast)
