Rating: Null/10 (26 July 2001)

After seeing the Sixth Sense, I had pretty high expectations for this film. I was disappointed to say the least. While the performances from Willis and Jackson were good as usual, I was dismayed by the pace of the film (and the story). At times the film creeps along at a snail's pace in a fashion of utter boredom and dreadful silence. I felt like I was in a library.
Also, some of the camera angles that the director used were absolutely irritating! Towards the beginning of the film when David Dunn is talking to the female sports agent, the angle of the shoot was constantly being shifted between the seats on the trains. After awhile the distraction of the seats took away from the conversation between the two characters. In addition when Dunn plays "superhero" and goes to the victims' house to catch the killer, the camera is kept behind a flowing curtain to where the viewer cannot see inside the house. This seems like it went for way too long and was just simply annoying. Disappointing movie.
