Skillful presentation of a flawed plot

Rating: 6/10 (13 December 2005)

The cinematography in this movie is great; beautiful shots abound. The acting is fair, and there are certainly some enjoyable scenes in this movie.
That said, someone forgot to remind M. Night that every great movie starts with an interesting story. The ending of this movie is terrible, evoking no emotions or feelings, other than that you've just been ripped off. It's almost as if the movie builds to a point, forgets where it's going, and tries to tie everything together as quickly and haphazardly as possible. Suspense for the sake of suspense just isn't as good as properly resolved tension.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this one.
