A Film for the 'thinking' audience

Rating: 9/10 (2 August 2004)

Again, Hollywood has done a marvelous movie a disservice through misdirected promotion. While this movie does maintain the thrilling elements common to all of Shyamalan's films, it is not the horror thrill-ride it was billed as.
Instead, this film is a beautifully filmed, magically told allegory. As with all of his films, what you see on the screen is only the 'tip of the iceberg'--it is your responsibility as a film-goer to search for all of the interesting social commentary that hides and hovers beneath the surface.
So, in short, film-goers who enjoy contemplation will love this movie. Those who prefer to have a baseless, thoughtless story thrown in their lap should see Fahrenheit 9/11 again.
