Night Shyamalan: going from genius to fool.

Rating: 4/10 (15 March 2017)

Night Shyamalan is one of those directors who learned from Tim Burton: he loves bizarre movies that can be brilliant or obnoxious. Therefore, he's a genius just as easily as he can be a fool. In this film, he not only directs but ensures script writing.
This movie is about a mysterious global pandemic that causes people to kill themselves mechanically, without thinking. This sentence, synthetic and simple, already allows us to anticipate a bad script, but the film takes that expectation to a new level, telling a story so unbelievable that it becomes hilarious. And when a movie has a bad script, it's doomed.
Mark Wahlberg is the main actor and has a poor interpretation. I think he would admit that himself. From the middle of the film, he failed to interpret and went on to simply say his text and do what they were told. I don't know if he protested to Shyamalan, but the truth is that he couldn't save his character without changes in the script. Zooey Deschanel seems better, and the physical beauty of the actress is certainly a bonus, but the truth is that her character was spared by the script because of not being a protagonist. Anyway, I sincerely believe the actors did the best they could. Blame the writer.
