Piece of crap (SPOILER ALERT!!!!)

Rating: 1/10 (3 June 2008)

This movie was a complete joke. The acting (except for Marcia Gay Harden) was abysmal, the effects laughable, the dialogue completely unrealistic, and, as usual with Stephen King lately, every character was a caricature, designed to do nothing more than advance the plot or spout one of King's lame commentaries on the "human condition".
It was also cruel; having Dave kill his son for no reason was just plain nasty, which is something else King has become. I guess he's getting bitter about being a has-been writer. And Thomas Jane might just be the worst actor working (why is he working?) today. His screams and wails at the end were embarrassing to watch.
And why did the mist suddenly clear up the minute he saw the soldiers?
DO NOT waste your time with this lame film. It should have been a made for TV movie; it's already got all the commercial fade-outs in it.
Can't believe Frank Darabont could do this tripe.
