The Village Blows

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 2004)

This movie started out slow, but most of M. Night's movies do. I waited patiently for some action. The film never really got going. Still I waited for the big twist that was sure to come. Again, nothing special. Adrien Brody and Joaquin Phoenix are the only bright spots here. The cast performs fairly well considering the crap they were handed. M. Night usually delivers a unique concept in his films in a way only he can. Unfortunately it seems as though he was having a case of writers block when he developed this screenplay. The only disclaimer I have here is that I went into this movie with very high expectations. Still I say wait for video, or even HBO.
