A colossal waste of time (and popcorn)...

Rating: 1/10 (10 February 2002)

I waited and waited and waited and waited, hoping for something to happen in the movie, or surprise me, or even just mildly engage my interest. But, alas, the noisy traffic outside my apartment window was more absorbing than this mess of a film.
Bruce Willis pulled his usual non-acting routine (how many more times will he sleepwalk through a movie?), and THE CHILD was just not interesting. And M. Night Shyamalan should have been arrested (and almost was in the middle of the film, cameoing as a drug-dealer possibility for Willis' security guard to frisk) for trying to pass this off as a full-length feature. A half-hour vignette squeezed into a two-hour film, this film should not be seen or heard from again. It is a waste of your time, and Orville Redenbacher's good popcorn.
