Fascinating

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 2001)

I bought the DVD because I had heard how good the film was. So I came home, popped it in the player and watched. I was totally engrossed in the entire film. I love how M. Night doesn't rely on special effects, action sequences, or slapstick humor to keep his audiences attention. He rely's on the audience, he trust them to pay attention. I know I did.
I never bother to write an outline of the plot. I think if you're reading this, than you've read others and probably know what the plot is all about.
On the DVD M. Night explains how he wrote the script. He said instead of having the thing structured like a comic. He decided to keep the film in the first act the entire way. Instead of having him realize his powers in the first act, it takes him the entire movie to realize what he is.
The acting in the film is great. I love that Bruce Willis got out of that whole action star cliche that he was stuck in for a long time. Now he's doing films that prove him as a great actor. Samuel L. Jackson proves once again that he is the top actor out there right now. And the little kid who played Willis' son was also excellent.
I defiantly would suggest this film to my friends who haven't seen it yet. And I'll be sure to watch it again soon. 10/10
