Exciting but predictable

Rating: 5/10 (8 August 2004)

I loved the Sixth Sense, it will always be his best to me. The Village just didn't cut it. The acting wasn't the best. Although I did enjoy Bryce. The plot was predictable, the fate of the village was not. Except that Bryce being blind was convenient. I was able to determine the twist too quickly. In all fairness however, I did get thrown a curve ball with the scene in the woods and the appearance of "those we don't talk about". I almost want to say wait for the video, but by then the word will be out and the plot exposed, so it's up to you. It's worth seeing just to try and figure M Night's twist. In Sixth Sense, it hit me like a ton of bricks, but not until the ring hit the floor. In the Village, I was looking for it and found it! Unbreakable was even more challenging.
