Not the Night I knew

Rating: 1/10 (1 August 2004)

Over all, it was a fair movie. But, I'm not the smartest person in the world and I figured out the "twist" before it was even brought up. I am a huge M. Night fan and I've seen all of his movies and (possibly with this one) I had high hopes of it being a suspense thriller. But, much to my disappointment, it was more of a drama. The story had no main plot and things just kind of happened without ever any meaning. Night sure casted a lot of great actors, but he didn't give them much to work with. And poor Joaquin Phoenix Got SUCH a small role! I wouldn't be surprised if the National Park ranger guy at the end of the movie had more lines! But for the small time when Joaquin Phoenix was present... he did do an Excellent job! So for that I would recommend that you go and see this movie... just don't expect anything special!
