First Class Reviews!!!! Todays Review:The Happening Starring: Mark Wahlberg The main hype over this movie is that it's M. Night Shyamalan's first rated R movie, as he is mostly known for PG-13. However in Canada the film is ated 14A,which is only one year above. The film isn't even that violent. Despite that I must say it is a heartpounding apocalyptic thriller. The first half is boring and predictable although the second half is exciting and action-packed. The film can be disturbing at times but not very frightening. The acting by Mark Whalberg is decent but it is extremely far from his best. The explanation of whats "Happening is horrible. Even though that is the main part of the movie. It has enough redeeming qualities to make up for that. So in a nutshell the happening is Refreshing and daring.
