Interested for a while then let down again.

Rating: 5/10 (2 August 2004)

I really think M. Night Shyamalan has some talent, but after The Sixth Sense, and most of the way through Unbreakable, he seems to have allowed the people writing the checks to rush him into unfinished stories that turn into unfinished films. This film is teased as a monster movie that we won't see to the end but the twist in the end raises more questions than the few answers. This is a one and three quarter act film. The acting and direction was above average, but Mr. Shyamalan started shooting the movie without finishing the script. I believe "word of mouth" will make it's $50M opening weekend it's best week. I don't think I'll be in such a hurry to see his next one.
