Don't believe the critics.

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2004)

This movie is, for lack of a better word, awesome. However, if you spend the whole movie trying to dissect the plot twists and be the first of your friends to guess the plot twist, you'll completely miss out. The twist is there, but for the first time in an M. Night Shyamalan movie, it's not the point. The payoff is the affecting relationships and mounting tensions that fill the whole movie, not just some relevatory end. The twist will, however, make you reflect on the moral choices the characters have made previously, and keep you thinking about them for long after you've left the theater. I've never been more frightened by a movie. Allow yourself to enjoy this movie, don't waste your time trying to be smarter than it.
