Boring and pointless.

Rating: 1/10 (29 August 2004)

This movie was terrible! And yes it had nice photography. With a budget of $65M you can afford good technicians and a great DOP, but that doesn't help you out of your story. The only discovery at the end is that Shyamalan is just another Hollywood director trying to seduce an audience. And even if he was good with actors in other films, in this one they are stiff and boring. There is no character development and for the most part 'I saw dead people'. The movie was based on a child book "Running Out of Time". Unfortunately, they've adapted the story for a public of 6-year-olds. If you want to be frustrated and disappointed, go waste your money on this pore excuse for a movie.
