Beyond bad

Rating: 1/10 (14 October 2013)

I was really disappointed with this movie. Really, really disappointed. I had been so impressed with the 'Sixth sense' that I thought Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson magic plus Shyamalan would conjure something just as memorable. The premise of the plot was bottom of the barrel desperate in its possibility. A person with superhuman strength does not need his small boy to tell him and actually show him how strong he is! How a man with superhuman strength and touch cognition can stick to a wimpy woman, obey her whims and settle for a stupid job is beyond any suspension of belief. He does not even know that he is never sick - he has to ask her. People with Osteogenesis imperfecta ( even if Type1) should know better than running down steps in slippery shoes with a glass (!) walking stick - for goodness sake. Some reviewers have marveled at the build up of tension. I'm astonished at how I managed to stick around with my eyes open. Dragging through syrup with millstones on both feet is more descriptive. I just hoped against hope that some twist would save this film. People have expressed satisfaction with the ending. For me the ending was the last straw. It was so crying out loud bad as to verge on spoof.
