Enthralling and Intelligent

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 2004)

This Movie can be summed up into a category of words. I myself choose enthralling and intelligent. Though, perhaps it's too intelligent for most of you critics. M. Night Shyamalan's newest movie was without a triumph on a number of levels, Excellent acting (especially Bryce Dallas Howard, who's debut performance shone as Ivy Walker), Chills, Thrills, twists, romance and the interweaving emotions and stories of the village people. However, is you enter the cinema hoping for a non stop shocker, which is lacking in dialogue and plot, you're in a for a sore disappointment, as this movie is more of a tender look into the lives of those who have suffered, fear for their lives every day, which I think some viewers may not be able to appreciate. I applaud M. Night Shyamalan. This is a work of art.
