Another great M. Night film

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2004)

M. Night Shyamalan comes through again. So many people panned this movie, but I loved it. Even if you figure out plot twists, that doesn't mean you don't enjoy the movie. M. Night really knows how to do the whole foreboding thing. Joaquin Phoenix and newcomer Bryce Dallas Howard are awesome! Joaquin is great as the strong but silent Lucius. Ron Howard's daughter really makes her mark in this movie. I'm sure we'll be seeing lots of her in the future. It's amazing that this movie managed to keep its secrets from the world. It'll be fun to see the "Making of" when this movie eventually makes it to DVD. M. Night Shyamalan is one of the great storytellers of our time.
