Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (11 November 2008)

I am a big fan of M. Night Shyamalan AND the actors in this film but was very disappointed in this movies. The plot idea was interesting, but the graphic nature of the movie was a bit extreme. It seemed as if they wanted to focus more on "shock value" than on an interesting movie. I was also a bit disappointed that there wasn't a more creative ending. Also, I felt that the acting was awful. I know that both Zooey Deschanel and Mark Wahlberg are good actors, but not in this movie. Wahlberg seemed as if he wasn't really committed to the emotion which made Deschanel's character seemed a bit OVER played. I also felt that there were story lines that should have been expanded on but were left open ended.
