Intolerable

Rating: 2/10 (10 December 2000)

A man is the sole survivor of a trainwreck...and don't I wish he wasn't. It might have saved me over two hours of wasted time. This film really dragged, with barely developed storylines of people we would all rather not meet. Its dull, unintegrated dialogue was offset by its dull interesting premise and its dull uninteresting exploration of territory that's been gone over before. To be fair the film had its genuinely original moments( exclusively around the Samuel Jackson character), but it spent too much time trying to echo its predecessor, The Sixth Sense, and to prove to the audience that it was an "honest, thoughtful" film. Each minute of this film was agonizing, passing at roughly the same speed of time spent in a doctor's waiting room. By the time the final scene rolled around with its disappointing denoument, I felt that I, too, had an unrecognized superhuman ability--the one needed to endure over two hours of boring, barely edited junk without demanding my money back. Don't bother.
