well made and definitely a must see.

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2008)

I watched the movie VERY late because of all the criticism the movie got. But in the end i decided to watch it because Mark Wahlberg's movies are usually good/entertaining.
It was honestly very good; the characters were realistic, as were the scenes in the movie - huge sense of realism, and people should have been able to relate to it..However, people are looking for something more dramatic and more climatic, like the end of the world or something, which this movie doesn't deliver.
The acting wasn't meant to be flawless, it was meant to portray human nature and the actors and the director achieved this.
All in all, it's a movie that makes you think and please don't mock the script, it was honestly very well made and its a very thoughtful movie.
The only other movie i saw from Mr. Shymalan was the sixth sense, which was years ago, and i liked his directing style. His movies are different, because they're not over the top - The idea behind this movie might be hard to digest, but do watch it, and think about the message that the movie is trying to relay across...
