Bad.

Rating: 2/10 (12 June 2008)

First off, let me say that I have seen a lot of bad movies; but this one far out-shoots the rest in that category.
This is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. First off, let's start with Mark Wahlberg. He has the exact same facial expression in every single scene. Whether he's in the train station, car, talking to a woman, he always has that surprised, somewhat disoriented look on his face. And to add to that, he has absolutely no emotion in his lines. Could a movie ever have more monotones? You disappoint me Shyamalan.
Okay, maybe the Happening has SOME good things to talk about. Man-killing plants that produce neuro-transmitting disabling toxins? Cool. Tasteful shots of suicide? Pretty awesome.
But unfortunately, the movie moves into a steep decline and eventually into a bottomless pit as the director chooses to include more shots of the uneventful Wahlberg and his wife, whom I will not even bother talking about, neither will I the rest of the actors.
To wrap up: don't watch it. It's a complete waste of your time. It certainly was for me.
