Oh Dear!

Rating: 1/10 (28 August 2004)

This film was awful. I was previously a big fan of Shyamalan's, loving
Unbreakable and Signs(Sixth Sense was OK) but this was terrible. The
cinematography was good and Shyamalan's liking for the use of colour was
there. There was some good acting, especially by Hurt and Phoenix but the film was poor. The actress who played the blind girl didn't seem particularly affected by being blind - she managed to go quite successfully on a mission to the
'towns' - what was that all about? The dialogue was clunky and I honestly sat in the cinema waiting for it to get better - which it didn't. And as for the twist - Oh Please. I have to say what a let down this film was. Come on Shyamalan, you
can do better than this.
