Are we expecting too much from movie thrillers of today?

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2001)

I sat and watched this movie by myself so that I could tell my husband if he would want to watch it. When It ended, I simply walked into his room and said "It was awesome!" But then I found that I could not describe the movies greatness without giving away the key elements, points, and cliff hanging-pull your hair our-while biting your nails-and telling every living and non living thing to not make a single noise so that you don't miss a single word, sound, movement, change in facial expression, and the sudden camera angle changes that occur throughout the whole movie. I lost count of how many times that I rewound the movie to re-watch a part that I thought was a key element that ended up being just "fluff" or a turning point in the movie. Yes, I am a woman. Yes, I love romance and comedy. Yes I love action sequences that rate along the lines as "do-able" (if there is such a word). But I have been pulled into the obsession with sex, drugs, rock and roll, and carnage for a movie to have some importance and depth. Of course I can't tell you what the movie contains without spoiling it. But what I can say is that this movie deserves the honors of NOT being compared to other movies, including Sixth Sense (which I did on my own to my husband when I asked him to get it for me). See it as a black widow spider that has drawn you into her death/seductive lair and roll the dice to see what kind of a mood she is going through to decide and seal your fate. And then you walk away with a deeper understanding of life, the people in the world, yourself, and what each one of us is put on this Earth to do, to accomplish, and what our demons will be for not following our destiny. Who would be able to just shrug that off and say it was to complicated or a bomb and not think of it for months and maybe years to come. Maybe this could help some of us understand the need and balance of good and evil
This is my first time so sorry for rambling and sound stupid or worse yet, see myself at a level of intelligence that I am in no way near.
