MNS's marketing mistake

Rating: 8/10 (3 August 2004)

OK, I have heard a lot of bad reviews of this film. The first time I saw it, I was initially disappointed, but when I took the movie for what it was, I was very impressed. MNS's biggest mistake was to market this movie as a thriller. He pumped up thousands of movie goers for another exciting thrill ride from one of the most talented thriller movie makers today. I spent the whole movie waiting for things to pick up and for the monsters to start playing a larger role in the film. Anyone would be disappointed in this film expecting action. I wish he would have marketed it differently. I just went to it for the second time. Now knowing the kind of movie I was about to see, I was riveted. It's a great story with great acting and visually stunning. Even the twists were more exciting. There were so may clues placed perfectly within the storyline which brought a new light to this film. Even the love story was engaging. I encourage anyone who disliked this film or had some doubts about it to SEE IT AGAIN!! It is so much better when you are not expecting a monster movie.
