More boring than watching golf on television

Rating: 2/10 (26 January 2003)

I just don't understand why people like M. Night Shyamalan's movies. This is his most acclaimed and simultaneously most typical movie: despite a decent performance from Osment, nothing actually happens. There is virtually no dialogue, and despite the claims of reviewers, little if any suspense. If you have enough time and money to rent this movie, it would be more entertaining to light the money on fire and try not to burn down your house. Seriously, just don't waste your time on anything by this director.
